00:06:51,445 --> 00:06:54,446
[suspenseful music playing]
180
00:06:55,582 --> 00:06:57,983
I ain't got time
to talk about that now.
181
00:06:58,018 --> 00:07:00,285
You got gold to make here.
182
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,388
[suspenseful music playing]
183
00:07:05,392 --> 00:07:07,526
[steve p] I can meet you
at breakers later on tonight.
184
00:07:07,561 --> 00:07:09,127
Sounds good.
185
00:07:09,163 --> 00:07:12,230
Okay. And then
we'll talk about it then.
186
00:07:12,266 --> 00:07:14,666
[shawn] I'll see you
at the breakers tonight then.
187
00:07:14,701 --> 00:07:16,768
Okay. At the breakers later.
188
00:07:19,072 --> 00:07:21,072
[engine starts]
189
00:07:24,545 --> 00:07:26,611
typical dad,
never has time to talk.
190
00:07:26,647 --> 00:07:29,915
But it's kind of an important
piece to the whole puzzle.
191
00:07:32,553 --> 00:07:34,019
I need to know how much
it's gonna cost
192
00:07:34,054 --> 00:07:35,520
to buy him out.
193
00:07:41,695 --> 00:07:42,994
[mike] at the dock...
194
00:07:45,666 --> 00:07:48,033
[vernon] all right guys,
here's the deal,
195
00:07:48,068 --> 00:07:50,335
this is for the roses guys.
196
00:07:51,972 --> 00:07:53,905
[mike] today on the gold ship,
wild ranger,
197
00:07:53,941 --> 00:07:55,207
it's game on.
198
00:07:55,242 --> 00:07:58,944
Each one of you guys is gonna
have your own test map.
199
00:07:58,979 --> 00:08:01,613
After you dive,
we will check it for gold.
200
00:08:01,648 --> 00:08:02,914
We'll keep track of it.
201
00:08:02,950 --> 00:08:06,284
And then the top dog
is gonna get a significant...
202
00:08:08,021 --> 00:08:10,188
Maybe a trip to vegas.
203
00:08:10,224 --> 00:08:11,556
-Viva las vegas.
-You guys are in trouble.
204
00:08:11,592 --> 00:08:13,024
[vernon] so, whatever.
205
00:08:13,060 --> 00:08:15,827
It's gonna be a bonus
at the end of this rodeo.
206
00:08:16,830 --> 00:08:18,463
-Oh, yeah.
-I mean, I hope
207
00:08:18,499 --> 00:08:20,265
we'll all go
on a trip to vegas.
208
00:08:20,334 --> 00:08:23,201
Or down hawaii
when this is all over with.
209
00:08:23,237 --> 00:08:24,469
We're on the gold.
210
00:08:24,505 --> 00:08:26,204
56 is paying off
211
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,107
and it looks like
it's gonna pay off big.
212
00:08:29,142 --> 00:08:31,843
And believe me,
big is what I'm looking for.
213
00:08:31,879 --> 00:08:34,913
I've got to put my foot
on the gas as hard as I can.
214
00:08:34,948 --> 00:08:37,215
I'm gonna get these guys
in a competition
215
00:08:37,251 --> 00:08:39,484
to see who can get
the most gold.
216
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,786
When they do better,
I do better.
217
00:08:41,822 --> 00:08:43,088
We all benefit.
218
00:08:43,123 --> 00:08:45,557
Jerry, you'll be up first,
bryan second.
219
00:08:45,592 --> 00:08:47,325
You think you can whoop
his ass?
220
00:08:47,361 --> 00:08:48,827
I'll put a hundred dollars
on it. I think I can.
221
00:08:48,862 --> 00:08:49,828
[vernon] how about you, bryan?
222
00:08:49,863 --> 00:08:50,662
Oh, absolutely.
223
00:08:50,697 --> 00:08:53,231
[upbeat music playing]
224
00:08:53,267 --> 00:08:55,200
[mike] the rules
for today's great claim
225
00:08:55,235 --> 00:08:57,669
56 faceoff are simple.
226
00:08:57,704 --> 00:09:00,539
Each diver will have
his own test mat.
227
00:09:00,574 --> 00:09:03,875
Each diver will have the same
amount of time to mine.
228
00:09:03,911 --> 00:09:06,878
And at the end of the day,
the diver with the most gold
229
00:09:06,914 --> 00:09:09,514
in his test mat will win
a luxurious trip
230
00:09:09,550 --> 00:09:10,982
to las vegas.
231
00:09:14,021 --> 00:09:15,186
[vernon] okay.
Let go of the bowline
232
00:09:15,222 --> 00:09:16,955
and push us off.
233
00:09:19,092 --> 00:09:20,625
Let's get the hell
out of here, get out there
234
00:09:20,661 --> 00:09:22,894
and get some gold.
235
00:09:22,930 --> 00:09:24,496
-[upbeat music playing]
-[vernon] the truth is,
236
00:09:24,531 --> 00:09:27,799
this claim was very expensive
to purchase.
237
00:09:27,834 --> 00:09:31,236
And so, I need these guys
to just be as productive
238
00:09:31,271 --> 00:09:32,804
as they thought we can
239
00:09:32,839 --> 00:09:35,740
so that I can pay
this damn claim off.
240
00:09:35,776 --> 00:09:37,208
We need some gold.
241
00:09:37,244 --> 00:09:38,610
I got fingers crossed.
242
00:09:38,645 --> 00:09:41,146
I'm hoping we're gonna get
some good visibility.
243
00:09:41,181 --> 00:09:43,114
[clears throat]
but good vis or not,
244
00:09:43,150 --> 00:09:44,516
we got our spot
and we're gonna put
245
00:09:44,551 --> 00:09:47,018
our diver down
and get some gold.
246
00:09:48,288 --> 00:09:49,955
Well, I think
the added incentive,
247
00:09:49,990 --> 00:09:52,023
it's gonna supercharge
things today.
248
00:09:52,059 --> 00:09:54,859
I think the pots is gonna be
overflowing with gold.
249
00:09:55,996 --> 00:09:57,495
Okay. We're here.
250
00:10:04,571 --> 00:10:08,106
Jimmy the gold diver
will be going down shortly.
251
00:10:10,210 --> 00:10:11,409
We need to put
that damn test mat
252
00:10:11,445 --> 00:10:14,079
in before we get started.
253
00:10:14,114 --> 00:10:15,680
[man] definitely ready
to get gold.
254
00:10:15,716 --> 00:10:17,849
I'm ready.
255
00:10:17,884 --> 00:10:19,150
[man speaking]
256
00:10:19,186 --> 00:10:21,186
-so, now [indistinct]
-all in. I'm all in.
257
00:10:23,256 --> 00:10:24,856
[vernon] they're gold
hungry right now.
258
00:10:24,891 --> 00:10:26,524
I'm betting money.
259
00:10:29,029 --> 00:10:32,030
[suspenseful music playing]
260
00:10:46,947 --> 00:10:49,881
[man] down to the bottom.
261
00:10:49,916 --> 00:10:51,916
There's gold down here.
262
00:10:51,952 --> 00:10:53,318
[man] heading out.
263
00:10:57,090 --> 00:11:00,158

265
00:11:09,536 --> 00:11:10,869
[man speaking]

[suspenseful music playing]
267
00:11:14,341 --> 00:11:16,474
[man speaking]
268
00:11:16,510 --> 00:11:18,243
all right.
269
00:11:18,278 --> 00:11:19,811
[man] now, let's see here.
270
00:11:24,951 --> 00:11:28,186
Oh, yeah. Guys,
this looks really good.
271
00:11:28,221 --> 00:11:29,854
This is the stuff I like.
272
00:11:31,858 --> 00:11:34,559
[vernon] yeah. Yeah. That
looks damn beautiful to me.
273
00:11:34,594 --> 00:11:37,796
[man] down low, easy to work.
274
00:11:37,831 --> 00:11:39,597
-Oh, yeah.
-[man] ah.
275
00:11:39,633 --> 00:11:40,899
We getting gold today,
vernon.
276
00:11:40,934 --> 00:11:43,435
There is a piece.
There is a piece.
277
00:11:45,005 --> 00:11:47,772
There is a piece right there.
278
00:11:47,808 --> 00:11:50,341
It's beautiful. Yeah.
I see some nice looking
279
00:11:50,377 --> 00:11:51,710
little starfish down there.
280
00:11:51,745 --> 00:11:53,511
Don't suck up
any of those starfish, man.
281
00:11:53,547 --> 00:11:55,747
I like starfish.
282
00:11:55,782 --> 00:11:57,482
[man] I'll try not to.
283
00:11:58,985 --> 00:12:01,052
Uh, yeah. Hey,
this is the most excited
284
00:12:01,088 --> 00:12:04,122
I've heard you forever.
285
00:12:04,157 --> 00:12:06,091
[man] I'm seeing gold.
286
00:12:06,126 --> 00:12:08,693
I'm seeing gold, man.
287
00:12:08,729 --> 00:12:10,862
Woo, baby.
288
00:12:10,897 --> 00:12:12,263
You turn it up, buddy.
289
00:12:12,299 --> 00:12:13,932
This is how I do it.
290
00:12:13,967 --> 00:12:15,767
I get them
at each other's throats
291
00:12:15,802 --> 00:12:18,737
and I'll just sit back
and reap the room for it.
292
00:12:18,772 --> 00:12:21,806
That's the stuff
of dreams, my friend.
293
00:12:21,842 --> 00:12:23,908
[man] yes, sir. It is.
294
00:12:23,944 --> 00:12:26,444
[vernon]
I tell you, gratifying.
295
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,012
Uh, this is all good stuff.
296
00:12:28,048 --> 00:12:29,781
This is good stuff.
297
00:12:29,816 --> 00:12:32,283
This is my own personal
298
00:12:32,319 --> 00:12:34,385
gold bank at the bottom
299
00:12:34,421 --> 00:12:36,154
of the bering sea,
300
00:12:38,391 --> 00:12:40,325
the gold bank
of vernon.
301
00:12:42,929 --> 00:12:45,930
[upbeat music playing]
302
00:12:58,879 --> 00:13:00,845
hey. Knock, knock.
303
00:13:00,881 --> 00:13:02,247
Permission to come aboard.
304
00:13:02,282 --> 00:13:04,482
-Hey. Permission granted.
-[steve r] hey.
305
00:13:04,518 --> 00:13:05,917
[emily] come on.
How are you doing?
306
00:13:05,952 --> 00:13:07,786
-Hi. Nice to see you.
-Good to see you.
307
00:13:07,821 --> 00:13:09,554
-How's it been?
-Oh, well,
308
00:13:09,589 --> 00:13:11,089
I'm still looking for work.
309
00:13:11,124 --> 00:13:13,224
[suspenseful music playing]
310
00:13:13,260 --> 00:13:15,360
[mike] steve riedel pays
his daughter, emily,
311
00:13:15,395 --> 00:13:17,162
a social visit.
312
00:13:17,197 --> 00:13:19,297
Well, not really.
313
00:13:19,332 --> 00:13:21,666
I've been pounding the,
uh, docks pretty hard.
314
00:13:21,701 --> 00:13:23,301
So, how about you?
What are you up to?
315
00:13:23,336 --> 00:13:25,904
I came here
to cash in on claims
316
00:13:25,939 --> 00:13:27,672
and record gold prices.
317
00:13:27,707 --> 00:13:30,041
But so far,
I'm a million dollars shy
318
00:13:30,076 --> 00:13:31,109
of being a millionaire.
319
00:13:31,144 --> 00:13:33,611
First thing I need is a gig.
320
00:13:33,647 --> 00:13:35,446
One of the best cards
I have to play,
321
00:13:35,482 --> 00:13:38,249
familial guilt.
322
00:13:38,285 --> 00:13:39,884
So, you need a diver?
323
00:13:39,953 --> 00:13:41,753
Um...
324
00:13:41,788 --> 00:13:43,555
Maybe me?
325
00:13:43,590 --> 00:13:45,290
Um, it's...
326
00:13:45,325 --> 00:13:48,293
I think, uh, I think I'm good.
327
00:13:48,328 --> 00:13:50,762
Oh, okay.
328
00:13:50,797 --> 00:13:52,330
What else you got going on?
329
00:13:52,365 --> 00:13:54,532
Uh, you know, um, actually,
330
00:13:54,568 --> 00:13:56,901
uh, one thing
we could do is, uh, here,
331
00:13:56,937 --> 00:13:58,136
come take a look.
332
00:13:58,171 --> 00:13:59,771
Oh, okay.
333
00:13:59,806 --> 00:14:01,539
[emily] right now,
my dad can't be a part
334
00:14:01,575 --> 00:14:02,740
of the eroica crew.
335
00:14:02,776 --> 00:14:05,176
But, um, I could definitely
use him
336
00:14:05,212 --> 00:14:08,146
for, um, another project.
337
00:14:08,181 --> 00:14:11,516
-I am buying a claim.
-Oh.
338
00:14:11,551 --> 00:14:13,251
[emily] and here's a map
339
00:14:13,286 --> 00:14:16,087
of the tracks from the state.
340
00:14:16,122 --> 00:14:18,523
[steve] okay. Oh, that's a big
step for the...
341
00:14:18,558 --> 00:14:19,991
For your boat here.
342
00:14:20,026 --> 00:14:21,292
-For this boat.
-[emily] yeah.
343
00:14:21,328 --> 00:14:23,127
I've been able to save money
344
00:14:23,163 --> 00:14:24,762
over the years
and it's really time
345
00:14:24,798 --> 00:14:28,066
to spread my wings
and look in other places
346
00:14:28,101 --> 00:14:29,934
and if people want to mine
on the claim,
347
00:14:29,970 --> 00:14:31,135
they pay me royalties.
348
00:14:31,171 --> 00:14:33,638
Instead of me paying them
which is nice.
349
00:14:33,673 --> 00:14:36,574
-[steve] mmm-hmm.
-After all this time.
350
00:14:36,610 --> 00:14:38,776
[steve] I'm really impressed
with emily.
351
00:14:38,812 --> 00:14:41,079
She's one of the youngest
miners up here
352
00:14:41,114 --> 00:14:43,948
and for her to be stepping up
and buying the claim.
353
00:14:43,984 --> 00:14:45,350
I'm really proud of her.
354
00:14:45,385 --> 00:14:47,151
[emily] all the way down
here there's the... You see,
355
00:14:47,187 --> 00:14:49,287
-there's the nome river.
-[steve] oh.
356
00:14:49,322 --> 00:14:50,688
-You want to go east?
-Uh...
357
00:14:50,724 --> 00:14:54,759
Yeah, there's six and three.
358
00:14:54,794 --> 00:14:57,195
I was thinking we could
check out the beaches.
359
00:14:57,230 --> 00:14:59,230
Maybe we could take you
side by side
360
00:14:59,266 --> 00:15:01,299
down to do some samples.
361
00:15:01,334 --> 00:15:03,501
-[steve] okay.
-[emily] do some prospecting.
362
00:15:03,536 --> 00:15:05,603
There are lots of people
hitting the ground
363
00:15:05,639 --> 00:15:07,772
out west focusing
their energy there.
364
00:15:07,807 --> 00:15:09,407
I'm kind of more interested
365
00:15:09,442 --> 00:15:11,876
in looking at the claims
out east.
366
00:15:11,912 --> 00:15:13,444
It's that that claim four...
367
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,780
I didn't find
anything out there
368
00:15:15,815 --> 00:15:18,383
but I'm still looking
at claims three and six.
369
00:15:18,418 --> 00:15:20,952
There's potentially
some good gold out there.
370
00:15:20,987 --> 00:15:23,621
Yeah, I guess
we'll just make a day of it.
371
00:15:23,657 --> 00:15:25,523
Bring pan, shovels,
372
00:15:25,558 --> 00:15:27,292
classifier, some food.
373
00:15:27,327 --> 00:15:28,860
[steve] mmm-hmm.
Gas, gasoline.
374
00:15:28,895 --> 00:15:30,161
-Gasoline.
-[steve] just in case.
375
00:15:30,196 --> 00:15:31,229
[emily]
start with the beaches.
376
00:15:31,264 --> 00:15:32,597
Go poke some holes
377
00:15:32,632 --> 00:15:34,532
and go from there.
378
00:15:36,202 --> 00:15:40,171
So what is beach
prospecting paying?
379
00:15:41,608 --> 00:15:43,508
Oh, I don't know.
380
00:15:43,543 --> 00:15:46,244
I mean, like I said
we're prospecting.
381
00:15:46,279 --> 00:15:47,779
-[steve] mmm-hmm.
-So we're not running dirt.
382
00:15:47,814 --> 00:15:49,480
It's a fact-finding mission
383
00:15:49,516 --> 00:15:51,816
not a gold finding mission.
384
00:15:51,851 --> 00:15:54,819
Right now this is sort
of an unpaid internship.
385
00:15:54,854 --> 00:15:57,355
If it ends up being
a profitable lease,
386
00:15:57,390 --> 00:15:59,090
you know, maybe we'll work
something out.
387
00:15:59,125 --> 00:16:00,959
[steve] well, I'm excited
that you're going to buy
388
00:16:00,994 --> 00:16:03,094
a claim, emmy. That's super.
389
00:16:03,129 --> 00:16:04,395
-Yeah, yeah, let's see.
-You know.
390
00:16:04,431 --> 00:16:05,897
Hopefully, we'll find
a good one.
391
00:16:05,932 --> 00:16:07,432
[emily] yeah, I'm excited
you're going to come
392
00:16:07,467 --> 00:16:08,433
prospecting.
It should be fun.
393
00:16:08,468 --> 00:16:10,201
Mmm-hmm. Be there be square.
394
00:16:10,236 --> 00:16:11,402
[emily] all right.
395
00:16:14,474 --> 00:16:16,274
[mike] on the other side
of the harbor.
396
00:16:19,145 --> 00:16:22,347
[man] dude, we've been waiting
it's like three months now.
397
00:16:22,382 --> 00:16:23,982
A lot of time's gone by.
398
00:16:26,019 --> 00:16:27,251
Yeah.
399
00:16:27,287 --> 00:16:28,820
[mike] nome's mad scientist
400
00:16:28,855 --> 00:16:31,622
is ready to bring
his creation to life.
401
00:16:31,658 --> 00:16:33,424
[zeke] I need the validation
of having
402
00:16:33,460 --> 00:16:35,793
a couple solid dive days
403
00:16:35,829 --> 00:16:36,794
on the sailboat dredge.
404
00:16:36,830 --> 00:16:38,229
[upbeat music playing]
405
00:16:38,264 --> 00:16:39,998
[man] check out this lunchbox.
406
00:16:40,033 --> 00:16:42,066
Barbecued, a bunch
of ribs last night.
407
00:16:42,102 --> 00:16:42,934
[laughs]
408
00:16:42,969 --> 00:16:45,837
[bleep]
409
00:16:45,872 --> 00:16:47,171
all right.
410
00:16:47,207 --> 00:16:48,473
And tool box.
411
00:16:48,508 --> 00:16:50,908
-Tool box.
-All right. Yeah.
412
00:16:50,944 --> 00:16:52,744
It's not just that
I have to prove
413
00:16:52,779 --> 00:16:55,079
that this concept will work.
414
00:16:55,115 --> 00:16:57,315
I mean it needs
to pay for itself
415
00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:58,916
and that means
getting some gold
416
00:16:58,952 --> 00:17:00,752
out of that ocean
in a hurry.
417
00:17:00,787 --> 00:17:02,120
I got to come up
with somewhere
418
00:17:02,155 --> 00:17:04,522
around 35 ounces to breakeven.
419
00:17:04,557 --> 00:17:06,591
A first dredging day
like this,
420
00:17:06,626 --> 00:17:09,227
on a system like this
complicated and elaborate
421
00:17:09,262 --> 00:17:11,295
it's a lot to get to know,
422
00:17:11,331 --> 00:17:12,296
but I think
it's gonna be good.
423
00:17:12,332 --> 00:17:13,564
I got a good feeling about it.
424
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,133
All right. Good to go.
425
00:17:17,537 --> 00:17:20,171
Today is going to be
first ever
426
00:17:20,206 --> 00:17:22,607
gold mining sailboat
dredging day.
427
00:17:24,677 --> 00:17:26,210
Good to go.
428
00:17:27,881 --> 00:17:30,381
In an ideal world
we will find
429
00:17:30,417 --> 00:17:33,051
super bomb gold on 56.
430
00:17:33,086 --> 00:17:34,986
Fingers crossed.
431
00:17:35,021 --> 00:17:36,354
I mean I'm not gonna jinx it.
432
00:17:36,389 --> 00:17:38,523
We need to stack up some g.
433
00:17:40,860 --> 00:17:42,493
We got this bitchy
little breeze coming out
434
00:17:42,529 --> 00:17:43,828
of the west.
435
00:17:43,863 --> 00:17:45,396
Yeah, this is kind of sketch.
436
00:17:45,432 --> 00:17:47,065
[zeke] not gonna cause us
any problems.
437
00:17:47,100 --> 00:17:50,468
-I'm going out.
-[suspense music playing]
438
00:17:50,503 --> 00:17:53,071
[zeke] it's possible
that this is not an ideal day
439
00:17:53,106 --> 00:17:54,972
to be taking out
the black swan.
440
00:17:55,008 --> 00:17:57,642
The gusts
are pretty substantial.
441
00:17:57,677 --> 00:17:58,910
There's a lot of conditions
442
00:17:58,945 --> 00:18:00,278
that we're really
vulnerable to,
443
00:18:00,313 --> 00:18:01,712
but it's been
a good number months
444
00:18:01,748 --> 00:18:03,681
since I've been underwater
getting on some gold
445
00:18:03,716 --> 00:18:06,317
and it's now or never.
446
00:18:07,554 --> 00:18:09,754
[upbeat music playing]
447
00:18:09,789 --> 00:18:12,023
[zeke] we did a bunch
of sonar mapping out on 56.
448
00:18:12,058 --> 00:18:14,592
I found all the places
where I think it's likely
449
00:18:14,627 --> 00:18:16,060
for there to be gold
450
00:18:16,096 --> 00:18:17,862
and so I just want to go
451
00:18:17,897 --> 00:18:20,398
anchor up, drop the hose down,
452
00:18:20,433 --> 00:18:21,966
get all the gear running,
453
00:18:22,001 --> 00:18:23,401
suit up, and then
just see if I can find
454
00:18:23,436 --> 00:18:25,103
any hot spots there.
455
00:18:28,341 --> 00:18:29,974
So we're pulling up here.
456
00:18:30,009 --> 00:18:31,409
I'm going to want to have
the anchor down here
457
00:18:31,444 --> 00:18:32,844
sooner than later.
458
00:18:32,879 --> 00:18:34,278
Do you want me to throw it
over the hose
459
00:18:34,314 --> 00:18:35,613
or under the hose?
460
00:18:35,648 --> 00:18:37,915
I want you throw it
over the hose.
461
00:18:37,951 --> 00:18:39,951
So once we stop
I'm gonna have to drop
462
00:18:39,986 --> 00:18:41,819
the hose down and then
it's gonna be awkward
463
00:18:41,855 --> 00:18:43,754
like hose is gonna be
kind of...
464
00:18:43,790 --> 00:18:45,156
Anchor's got to go
over the hose.
465
00:18:45,191 --> 00:18:47,291
Yeah.
466
00:18:47,327 --> 00:18:49,660
[zeke] sam and raven
are by no means
467
00:18:49,696 --> 00:18:52,997
old hands at running
sailboats or gold dredges.
468
00:18:53,032 --> 00:18:54,765
Definitely gonna be
a steep learning curve
469
00:18:54,801 --> 00:18:57,268
when it comes to captaining
and operating
470
00:18:57,303 --> 00:18:58,936
this crazy contraption,
471
00:18:58,972 --> 00:19:00,438
especially considering
I've been away
472
00:19:00,473 --> 00:19:02,540
from dredging for as long
as I have.
473
00:19:04,544 --> 00:19:06,544
Where do I want to go?
474
00:19:06,579 --> 00:19:08,079
Maybe I'll go right over...
475
00:19:08,114 --> 00:19:10,248
I like that right there.
476
00:19:10,283 --> 00:19:11,749
There's a cobble field
477
00:19:11,784 --> 00:19:13,885
that there's a certain
sand field
478
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,319
right over there
479
00:19:15,355 --> 00:19:16,787
and then there's like
this big cobble field
480
00:19:16,823 --> 00:19:18,523
and then this reef that,
kind of, sticks out
481
00:19:18,558 --> 00:19:19,991
to the right,
482
00:19:20,026 --> 00:19:21,659
that's probably
where the gold is gonna be.
483
00:19:21,694 --> 00:19:23,794
Like, if my experience
can inform me
484
00:19:23,830 --> 00:19:25,396
of anything that's probably
where it's gonna be.
485
00:19:25,431 --> 00:19:27,031
So that's where
I want to start out.
486
00:19:27,066 --> 00:19:28,132
[suspense music playing]
487
00:19:28,168 --> 00:19:29,700
oh, yeah, I like this.
488
00:19:29,736 --> 00:19:31,269
This is where we want to be.
489
00:19:31,304 --> 00:19:32,570
Anchor up.
490
00:19:43,883 --> 00:19:45,616
Pump motor is running,
491
00:19:45,652 --> 00:19:47,218
everything's balanced okay.
492
00:19:47,253 --> 00:19:48,386
You know,
it's a little wobbly.
493
00:19:48,421 --> 00:19:49,554
It's a sailboat.
494
00:19:49,589 --> 00:19:50,821
All that needs to happen now,
495
00:19:50,857 --> 00:19:52,523
we need to jam some gold,
496
00:19:52,559 --> 00:19:54,992
greasy, dirty gold
into that sluice box.
497
00:19:59,399 --> 00:20:01,165
[man] finally
498
00:20:01,234 --> 00:20:03,701
[humming]
499
00:20:03,736 --> 00:20:05,836
[zeke] I've been in the yard
working on this boat
500
00:20:05,872 --> 00:20:08,573
for a long time
and my dredging muscles,
501
00:20:08,608 --> 00:20:11,876
and my dredging skills
are getting a little rusty.
502
00:20:11,911 --> 00:20:13,878
I need to get back up
to speed soon
503
00:20:13,913 --> 00:20:15,313
or we're gonna be boned.
504
00:20:15,348 --> 00:20:17,348
[breathing]
505
00:20:25,658 --> 00:20:28,226
-[man] go.
-[zeke] all right.
506
00:20:28,261 --> 00:20:30,228
Now I just got
to start working.
507
00:20:30,263 --> 00:20:33,264
[suspense music playing]
508
00:20:37,370 --> 00:20:38,836
[zeke] all right.
I'm just gonna hang out here
509
00:20:38,871 --> 00:20:40,271
for a second
and just get comfortable.
510
00:20:40,306 --> 00:20:42,440
I haven't been underwater
for a while.
511
00:20:42,475 --> 00:20:45,076
How's the vis?
512
00:20:45,111 --> 00:20:47,845
[zeke] pretty green
I got to say.
513
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,413
But it looks nice down here.
514
00:20:49,449 --> 00:20:51,215
I can see the keel
and everything.
515
00:20:53,186 --> 00:20:56,153
[man] very nice.
516
00:20:56,189 --> 00:20:58,389
[zeke] I mean I can see
517
00:20:58,424 --> 00:21:00,224
up here but we'll see
how it looks down
518
00:21:00,260 --> 00:21:01,659
at thirty feet.
519
00:21:03,796 --> 00:21:05,796
Going down the rope.
520
00:21:05,832 --> 00:21:08,799
[suspense music playing]
521
00:21:10,737 --> 00:21:13,537
[man] murky down there?
522
00:21:13,573 --> 00:21:14,972
[zeke] dark and murky.
523
00:21:17,176 --> 00:21:18,943
All right I'm on the bottom.
524
00:21:24,984 --> 00:21:27,451
Diver down, all right.
525
00:21:27,487 --> 00:21:29,320
[zeke] again, I'm so excited.
526
00:21:30,923 --> 00:21:32,290
Oh, my god.
527
00:21:36,729 --> 00:21:38,929
Hey, uh, can I get a little
more throttle please?
528
00:21:38,965 --> 00:21:40,164
Throttle up.
529
00:21:40,199 --> 00:21:41,632
[man] like, one o'clock?
530
00:21:41,668 --> 00:21:43,167
Yeah, clockwise.
531
00:21:56,916 --> 00:21:58,816
[zeke] oh, that's good, dude.
That's perfect.
532
00:22:04,991 --> 00:22:06,657
I like the ground
that I'm looking at.
533
00:22:06,693 --> 00:22:08,693
It's really easy to work.
534
00:22:10,596 --> 00:22:13,130
Just sand and cobble
and there's little pieces
535
00:22:13,166 --> 00:22:15,433
of like little rocks.
536
00:22:18,971 --> 00:22:21,105
And I'm seeing, uh...
537
00:22:23,976 --> 00:22:25,609
I'm seeing, uh...
538
00:22:27,647 --> 00:22:30,014
-Gold in it.
-Wooh! Woohoo!
539
00:22:34,153 --> 00:22:35,252
[zeke]
everything's going great.
540
00:22:35,288 --> 00:22:37,221
I want to get some time in.
541
00:22:37,256 --> 00:22:39,657
[man] we're right on it, man.
542
00:22:39,692 --> 00:22:41,792
[zeke] apparently we still
know how to do this.
543
00:22:43,062 --> 00:22:45,996
I'm so pumped though,
all the systems work,
544
00:22:46,032 --> 00:22:48,699
he's down there everything
is like...
545
00:22:48,735 --> 00:22:50,067
It's going great.
546
00:22:50,103 --> 00:22:50,868
This is awesome.
547
00:22:50,903 --> 00:22:52,770
[suspense music playing]
548
00:22:54,707 --> 00:22:56,574
getting a little bit
of a chop.
549
00:22:58,978 --> 00:23:01,045
[zeke groaning]
550
00:23:03,750 --> 00:23:06,717
guys, I'm just getting
yanked around
551
00:23:06,753 --> 00:23:10,354
every which way
and I don't understand why.
552
00:23:10,390 --> 00:23:11,756
[man]
it's kicked up quite a bit.
553
00:23:11,791 --> 00:23:14,258
We're kind of rocking back
and forth quite a bit.
554
00:23:14,293 --> 00:23:16,293
[zeke speaking]
555
00:23:37,550 --> 00:23:38,849
hell, yeah.
556
00:23:40,386 --> 00:23:42,453
[zeke] I want to get
some time in.
557
00:23:44,724 --> 00:23:47,725
[upbeat music playing]
558
00:23:49,395 --> 00:23:52,430
[kris] we're so close
everything I can taste it.
559
00:23:52,465 --> 00:23:53,764
Elim's right on our port.
560
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,600
You can see out the window
right now.
561
00:23:56,636 --> 00:23:58,936
[mike] after five years
of scheming,
562
00:23:58,971 --> 00:24:01,806
three weeks of prep,
and two long days
563
00:24:01,841 --> 00:24:04,875
of over 120 miles
of travel...
564
00:24:04,911 --> 00:24:07,211
The gold gods
are smiling on us.
565
00:24:07,246 --> 00:24:10,548
[mike] the kellys had finally
made it to their glory land.
566
00:24:10,583 --> 00:24:13,951
The distant shores
of elim, alaska.
567
00:24:13,986 --> 00:24:15,953
[brad] I can believe
we finally made it now.
568
00:24:15,988 --> 00:24:18,823
Let's hope it's very
prosperous for us.
569
00:24:18,858 --> 00:24:20,157
It's go time.
570
00:24:20,193 --> 00:24:22,126
Go make some [bleep]
money finally.
571
00:24:22,161 --> 00:24:26,063
[upbeat music playing]
572
00:24:26,098 --> 00:24:28,833
our plan is to stay away
from the front of elim
573
00:24:28,868 --> 00:24:31,836
so not too many people notice
what we're doing.
574
00:24:31,871 --> 00:24:36,540
Go out, go past, slip into
iron creek behind it.
575
00:24:36,576 --> 00:24:38,108
[kris] elim's super remote
576
00:24:38,144 --> 00:24:40,544
rumor is it's like
the wild west.
577
00:24:40,580 --> 00:24:43,147
The town can be a little
suspicious of outsiders.
578
00:24:43,182 --> 00:24:44,548
So to keep it on the down-low
579
00:24:44,584 --> 00:24:47,551
we're gonna prospect down
by iron creek.
580
00:24:47,587 --> 00:24:50,020
It's a secluded area
on the outskirts of elim
581
00:24:50,056 --> 00:24:53,624
that my research shows
there's huge gold strikes
582
00:24:53,659 --> 00:24:57,428
in the early 1900s
in that area.
583
00:24:57,463 --> 00:24:59,163
Nice, dude.
584
00:24:59,198 --> 00:25:00,965
I'm feeling very good
about this place now.
585
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,833
-[man] flat calm.
-[kris] oh yeah.
586
00:25:02,869 --> 00:25:05,436
Now we just have to find
the gold and stake the claim
587
00:25:05,471 --> 00:25:06,504
but we're good at that.
588
00:25:06,539 --> 00:25:09,106
We're gonna make
this work today.
589
00:25:09,141 --> 00:25:10,207
[man] woohoo!
590
00:25:11,511 --> 00:25:13,143
[kris] it's time
to make this happen.
591
00:25:13,179 --> 00:25:14,812
[suspenseful music playing]
592
00:25:14,847 --> 00:25:16,580
[chris] just by looking
on the on the beach
593
00:25:16,616 --> 00:25:18,916
there's actually...
There's a little creek
594
00:25:18,951 --> 00:25:20,818
over there that's...
595
00:25:20,853 --> 00:25:23,487
Almost lined up
to where we at right now.
596
00:25:23,523 --> 00:25:25,356
That is a good spot
to start on.
597
00:25:25,391 --> 00:25:26,724
Okay. Push it.
598
00:25:31,063 --> 00:25:33,430
-[man] boom, baby.
-[kris] elim, baby.
599
00:25:33,466 --> 00:25:35,766
This is it
the real adventure.
600
00:25:35,801 --> 00:25:39,336
This is my chance to start
on fresh ground, my territory,
601
00:25:39,372 --> 00:25:42,473
something that I can get three
to five ounces an hour.
602
00:25:42,508 --> 00:25:43,707
We got to move quickly.
603
00:25:43,743 --> 00:25:44,842
We got to find that gold.
604
00:25:44,877 --> 00:25:46,644
We got to stake
our claims fast.
605
00:25:46,679 --> 00:25:48,913
Moment of truth, I hope this
[bleep] starts no problem.
606
00:25:48,948 --> 00:25:50,414
-Come on, baby.
-[chris] I just hope
607
00:25:50,449 --> 00:25:51,615
we strike it right away.
608
00:25:51,651 --> 00:25:52,783
-I hope...
-[chris] that would be...
609
00:25:52,818 --> 00:25:53,951
...We strike it
right away too.
610
00:25:53,986 --> 00:25:55,319
[man] at least some gold
will be nice.
611
00:25:55,354 --> 00:25:57,655
Yeah. So we need to see
some gold right away.
612
00:25:57,690 --> 00:25:59,757
[engine revving]
613
00:25:59,792 --> 00:26:00,925
we got it.
614
00:26:04,397 --> 00:26:05,896
Today, I'm going down first.
615
00:26:05,932 --> 00:26:09,967
I'll put us on the gold
and andy's on clean-up duty.
616
00:26:10,002 --> 00:26:12,303
It's big gold or nothing.
617
00:26:12,338 --> 00:26:13,671
You're good, k.
618
00:26:19,879 --> 00:26:22,880
[dramatic music playing]
619
00:26:29,455 --> 00:26:31,755
[man] get that gold through.
620
00:26:31,791 --> 00:26:33,757
[kris] okay. Buddy,
621
00:26:33,793 --> 00:26:36,460
let me show you
how you do this.
622
00:26:36,529 --> 00:26:37,494
All right.
623
00:26:37,530 --> 00:26:39,496
[suspenseful music playing]
624
00:26:39,532 --> 00:26:41,532
[laughs]
625
00:26:44,170 --> 00:26:49,607
we're way deeper
than I thought we were.
626
00:26:49,642 --> 00:26:51,442
Bam. I'm ready.
627
00:26:54,113 --> 00:26:56,413
[andy]
what's the bottom look like?
628
00:26:56,449 --> 00:26:58,415
[kris] I don't know if this
is bedrock, dude,
629
00:26:58,451 --> 00:27:01,318
looks like we're on
a mountain or something.
630
00:27:02,188 --> 00:27:05,189
[tense music playing]
631
00:27:06,859 --> 00:27:08,993
[kris] it is solid rock.
632
00:27:15,301 --> 00:27:17,801
[andy] okay, well just keep...
Walk around of it
633
00:27:17,837 --> 00:27:20,104
and try and punch
some holes in there.
634
00:27:21,307 --> 00:27:23,474
I am.
635
00:27:23,509 --> 00:27:25,275
Give me a couple of minutes.
636
00:27:29,649 --> 00:27:31,982
Dude, I can't get through
the rock.
637
00:27:34,787 --> 00:27:36,487
Well, that's not good.
638
00:27:36,522 --> 00:27:38,822
[kris] no, it's not good.
639
00:27:38,858 --> 00:27:40,491
Just keep looking
for the gold.
640
00:27:40,526 --> 00:27:41,825
[kris] no, I'm not giving up.
641
00:27:41,861 --> 00:27:44,828
I just got down here.
642
00:27:44,864 --> 00:27:47,831
But there's like
three inches of sand
643
00:27:47,867 --> 00:27:51,468
and it goes right to mountain.
644
00:27:51,504 --> 00:27:53,070
[man] that's just like
in the bluff,
645
00:27:53,105 --> 00:27:57,741
you gotta look through
those cracks, buddy.
646
00:27:57,777 --> 00:27:59,843
[kris]
oh, I found a little trench.
647
00:28:03,182 --> 00:28:05,149
Nope, never mind.
648
00:28:05,184 --> 00:28:06,817
I thought it was gonna
go somewhere
649
00:28:06,852 --> 00:28:08,986
and it didn't go anywhere.
650
00:28:12,391 --> 00:28:16,560
There's no material
to work right here.
651
00:28:16,595 --> 00:28:19,430
All it is is sand and rock
652
00:28:19,465 --> 00:28:21,465
underneath the sand.
653
00:28:21,534 --> 00:28:23,500
There's no clay layer.
654
00:28:25,838 --> 00:28:28,138
[andy] okay. Well, keep
punching holes, keep looking.
655
00:28:28,174 --> 00:28:31,141
[kris] I am. I'm on it.
656
00:28:31,210 --> 00:28:34,144
There's no holes like that.
657
00:28:34,180 --> 00:28:36,513
There's no holes to put.
658
00:28:38,184 --> 00:28:40,784
God. The hose is too small.
659
00:28:42,655 --> 00:28:44,288
[andy] want me to untie it
from the boat
660
00:28:44,323 --> 00:28:46,023
and tether you off
and let you drift off?
661
00:28:46,058 --> 00:28:47,357
[kris] yes.
662
00:28:47,393 --> 00:28:50,360
Let me out some tether.
663
00:28:50,396 --> 00:28:51,795
[andy] yeah,
I'm gonna go do that.
664
00:28:51,831 --> 00:28:55,065
[suspenseful music playing]
665
00:28:55,134 --> 00:28:56,533
I'm gonna tether him out,
666
00:28:56,569 --> 00:28:58,535
let him go with the boat
667
00:28:58,571 --> 00:29:00,938
and let him move around a bit.
668
00:29:00,973 --> 00:29:03,040
There they go.
669
00:29:03,075 --> 00:29:05,042
[suspenseful music playing]
670
00:29:05,077 --> 00:29:07,678
[kris] okay. I'm a good 30
or 40 feet away.
671
00:29:10,983 --> 00:29:13,484
Okay, they're out...
They're on the loose.
672
00:29:13,519 --> 00:29:15,486
You got free range, dude.
673
00:29:15,521 --> 00:29:17,287
[kris]
I'm doing zigzag patterns
674
00:29:17,323 --> 00:29:19,223
trying to find something.
675
00:29:21,961 --> 00:29:25,062
-[dave] yeah, it's always
really discouraging...
-[kris] [indistinct]
676
00:29:25,097 --> 00:29:26,930
[dave] ...To get to a new area
and you think, oh,
677
00:29:26,966 --> 00:29:29,099
it's gotta be good, man,
you know, and there's no gold,
678
00:29:29,135 --> 00:29:30,701
no gold, no gold.
And you're "oh, god.
679
00:29:30,736 --> 00:29:32,702
No gold." right?
680
00:29:32,705 --> 00:29:34,338
But you keep looking
eventually
681
00:29:34,373 --> 00:29:37,141
-you're gonna walk into it.
-[kris] [indistinct] [bleep]
682
00:29:37,176 --> 00:29:40,878
-pretty exciting when you do.
-[kris] [indistinct]
683
00:29:40,913 --> 00:29:43,213
and I'm trying.
684
00:29:43,249 --> 00:29:46,917
I'm really trying.
685
00:29:46,952 --> 00:29:49,086
I'm not leaving without gold.
686
00:29:55,361 --> 00:29:57,494
Welcome to another episode
of kris kelly's
687
00:29:57,530 --> 00:29:59,196
secret guide
to successful mining.
688
00:29:59,231 --> 00:30:02,199
[whimsical music playing]
689
00:30:03,602 --> 00:30:05,869
today, we're gonna be going
through the intricate parts
690
00:30:05,905 --> 00:30:07,805
of staking your own claim.
691
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,807
So, you will have your own
piece of land,
692
00:30:09,842 --> 00:30:11,375
and you will own something.
693
00:30:11,410 --> 00:30:13,643
So, today, I'm gonna walk you
through the different steps
694
00:30:13,646 --> 00:30:15,312
and it's pretty simple.
It's a lot easier
695
00:30:15,347 --> 00:30:16,613
than you think it is.
696
00:30:16,649 --> 00:30:18,215
It's actually a long
[bleep] process.
697
00:30:18,250 --> 00:30:20,217
I hope we can cut this
[bleep] part, you know,
698
00:30:20,252 --> 00:30:22,820
like 45 minutes
of talking nonstop.
699
00:30:24,623 --> 00:30:27,591
And bam, you have staked
your own claim,
700
00:30:27,626 --> 00:30:31,261
get your own piece of alaska.
701
00:30:31,297 --> 00:30:33,530
Process pretty simple,
you get the coordinates
702
00:30:33,566 --> 00:30:35,499
to the claim,
you go out there,
703
00:30:35,534 --> 00:30:38,302
you make sure there's gold
on the claim.
704
00:30:38,337 --> 00:30:39,603
[brad]
are you seeing any gold?
705
00:30:39,638 --> 00:30:41,405
[kris]
I'm already seeing some gold.
706
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:42,806
[andy] look at it all,
look at it all.
707
00:30:42,842 --> 00:30:45,008
Then you put a piece
of rebar with your name
708
00:30:45,044 --> 00:30:47,945
and fill out the proper
paperwork and bam,
709
00:30:47,980 --> 00:30:49,613
you have staked
your own claim.
710
00:30:49,648 --> 00:30:51,515
Get your own piece of alaska.
711
00:30:51,550 --> 00:30:52,950
[whimsical music playing]
712
00:30:52,985 --> 00:30:54,751
[kris] so, first of all,
you have to go
713
00:30:54,787 --> 00:30:56,420
to the bureau
of land management,
714
00:30:56,455 --> 00:30:58,555
you have to see what claims
are available,
715
00:30:58,591 --> 00:31:00,257
then you have to get
the gps coordinates
716
00:31:00,292 --> 00:31:02,826
because everything fits
in like a little square.
717
00:31:02,862 --> 00:31:04,828
Forty acre claims
is what we're gonna be
718
00:31:04,864 --> 00:31:06,797
talking about today.
Then you have to go
719
00:31:06,866 --> 00:31:08,799
to that square
with your gps in your boat,
720
00:31:08,834 --> 00:31:11,902
find gold on that claim.
721
00:31:11,937 --> 00:31:13,203
[brad]
are you seeing any gold?
722
00:31:13,239 --> 00:31:14,972
[kris]
I'm already seeing some gold.
723
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:16,406
Look at it all,
look at it all.
724
00:31:16,442 --> 00:31:18,408
So you go into shore
with your gps,
725
00:31:18,444 --> 00:31:21,078
you find the coordinates
to the corner of the claim
726
00:31:21,113 --> 00:31:23,814
and then you stake a piece
of rebar with your paperwork.
727
00:31:23,849 --> 00:31:26,817
And bam, you have staked
your own claim
728
00:31:26,852 --> 00:31:28,652
get your own piece of alaska.
729
00:31:28,687 --> 00:31:30,320
[whimsical music playing]
730
00:31:30,356 --> 00:31:33,123
[kris] and I try not to be
a whining ass bitch but I am.
731
00:31:33,158 --> 00:31:35,425
I thought this was
today's off.
732
00:31:35,461 --> 00:31:37,461
If I drink more than
two beer at night,
733
00:31:37,496 --> 00:31:39,463
I lose my personality
in the daytime.
734
00:31:39,498 --> 00:31:41,465
Don't ask me what
the [bleep] it is.
735
00:31:41,500 --> 00:31:43,100
Sure I wish I could be
robin williams
736
00:31:43,135 --> 00:31:45,102
party all night long
and go to work all day long.
737
00:31:45,137 --> 00:31:46,336
But I'm not that dude.
738
00:31:46,372 --> 00:31:47,905
Whatever.
739
00:31:47,940 --> 00:31:49,039
[producer speaking]
740
00:31:49,074 --> 00:31:50,707
so, let's go stake a claim.
741
00:31:51,844 --> 00:31:54,344
And bam. That right here
is how you stake a claim
742
00:31:54,380 --> 00:31:55,512
in alaska.
743
00:31:55,547 --> 00:31:56,813
Thank you very much
for your help.
744
00:31:56,849 --> 00:31:58,615
-Let's get going.
-Yup.
745
00:31:58,651 --> 00:32:00,684
And thank you for checking
out another episode
746
00:32:00,719 --> 00:32:03,153
of kris kelly's secret
guide to successful mining.
747
00:32:03,188 --> 00:32:04,354
Check me out next time.
748
00:32:04,390 --> 00:32:06,189
Who knows what [bleep]
I'm gonna do?
749
00:32:10,763 --> 00:32:12,396
[upbeat music playing]
750
00:32:12,431 --> 00:32:14,398
[mike] off the coast
of nome, alaska.
751
00:32:14,433 --> 00:32:16,199
[vernon] yo, you okay?
752
00:32:16,235 --> 00:32:18,201
[jerry] oh, great.
753
00:32:18,237 --> 00:32:19,870
Well, that's what I want
to hear, man.
754
00:32:19,905 --> 00:32:22,539
[jerry] man, there's gold
down here, you know that?
755
00:32:22,574 --> 00:32:23,874
Whoo.
756
00:32:23,909 --> 00:32:25,542
That's terrific, jerry.
757
00:32:25,577 --> 00:32:28,946
These boxes are gonna
be loaded.
758
00:32:28,981 --> 00:32:31,148
[mike] the battle royale
aboard the gold ship
759
00:32:31,183 --> 00:32:33,684
wild ranger is in full swing.
760
00:32:34,620 --> 00:32:36,586
[jerry] get it all, yeah.
761
00:32:36,622 --> 00:32:38,922
-Gold [indistinct]
-check this out.
762
00:32:38,958 --> 00:32:40,924
Yeah, yeah, hell,
I see it glittering.
763
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,060
Yeah, bring it home to daddy.
764
00:32:45,097 --> 00:32:47,931
That would be gold daddy.
765
00:32:47,967 --> 00:32:49,566
Were on some hot gold,
766
00:32:49,601 --> 00:32:52,035
the competition's
working out nicely
767
00:32:52,071 --> 00:32:54,905
and they're playing
for a nice little prize also.
768
00:32:54,940 --> 00:32:57,240
I don't want you guys
at each other's throats.
769
00:32:57,276 --> 00:33:00,110
But the top guy gets
an all-expense paid
770
00:33:00,145 --> 00:33:02,179
trip to vegas.
771
00:33:02,214 --> 00:33:03,981
[vernon] but if we get
enough gold maybe all of us
772
00:33:04,016 --> 00:33:05,315
will go to hawaii.
773
00:33:05,351 --> 00:33:07,985
[jerry]
I'd rather go to vegas.
774
00:33:08,020 --> 00:33:10,187
[vernon] the trip may cost me,
but they'll bring in
775
00:33:10,222 --> 00:33:11,722
10 times that much in gold.
776
00:33:11,757 --> 00:33:15,058
This is my year,
it's all coming together.
777
00:33:15,094 --> 00:33:17,594
Finally.
778
00:33:17,629 --> 00:33:20,931
I'm feeling more
and more justified
779
00:33:20,966 --> 00:33:23,900
about buying 56.
780
00:33:23,936 --> 00:33:26,903
This is the best money
I've ever spent I do believe.
781
00:33:26,939 --> 00:33:29,239
[jerry] I think so too.
So far I've seen more gold
782
00:33:29,274 --> 00:33:31,241
down here on this run
than I've seen
783
00:33:31,276 --> 00:33:33,043
anywhere else out there.
784
00:33:33,078 --> 00:33:35,078
That's a damn good sign.
785
00:33:38,417 --> 00:33:40,450
Hey, jerry, it's time
for you to come up.
786
00:33:40,486 --> 00:33:43,453
[upbeat music playing]
787
00:33:43,489 --> 00:33:45,122
[jerry] all right.
Perfect. Roger that, boss.
788
00:33:45,157 --> 00:33:46,790
I'm on my way.
789
00:33:46,825 --> 00:33:49,393
I wanna clean that test mat
here pretty quick.
790
00:33:49,428 --> 00:33:50,894
And we'll see
how you're doing.
791
00:33:50,929 --> 00:33:54,164
-I know there's gold there.
-[jerry] yeah, roger that.
792
00:33:54,199 --> 00:33:56,466
Jerry's gonna dive in.
793
00:33:56,502 --> 00:33:58,935
We're gonna check
the test mat.
794
00:33:58,971 --> 00:34:00,971
Anything to juice up the game.
795
00:34:01,006 --> 00:34:05,442
[suspenseful music playing]
796
00:34:05,477 --> 00:34:08,545
[vernon] we pull the test mat,
rinse it out.
797
00:34:08,580 --> 00:34:12,049
Now...
We will pan that material.
798
00:34:12,084 --> 00:34:14,518
Hey, brian.
We'll pan it right quick
799
00:34:14,553 --> 00:34:16,853
and then that way you'll see
what you're looking at
800
00:34:16,889 --> 00:34:19,289
down there. I want him
to be fully primed
801
00:34:19,324 --> 00:34:22,225
and motivated
we know we're in the gold.
802
00:34:24,229 --> 00:34:26,730
Oh, looking good.
803
00:34:26,765 --> 00:34:27,798
Oh, yeah.
804
00:34:27,833 --> 00:34:29,332
All right, looking real good.
805
00:34:29,368 --> 00:34:32,002
-Oh, man.
-[vernon] oh, yeah.
806
00:34:32,037 --> 00:34:33,603
[jerry] hell yeah. Whoo.
807
00:34:33,639 --> 00:34:35,772
Oh, look, picker. Picker.
808
00:34:35,808 --> 00:34:37,541
[man] told you there's
gold down there.
809
00:34:37,576 --> 00:34:38,909
[jerry] we got a picker.
810
00:34:38,944 --> 00:34:40,811
[vernon] jerry was
right on top of it.
811
00:34:40,846 --> 00:34:43,013
That test mat was loaded.
812
00:34:43,048 --> 00:34:44,681
Brian's got his work
cut out for him
813
00:34:44,716 --> 00:34:46,583
if he wants that trip
to vegas.
814
00:34:46,618 --> 00:34:49,319
All I know is in this game,
I'm the house
815
00:34:49,354 --> 00:34:51,254
and the house always wins.
816
00:34:51,290 --> 00:34:54,257
[upbeat music playing]
817
00:35:00,499 --> 00:35:01,565
[jerry] yeah.
818
00:35:03,035 --> 00:35:06,036
[suspenseful music playing]
819
00:35:09,408 --> 00:35:11,575
[bryan] all right I'm near
the bottom.
820
00:35:14,346 --> 00:35:15,479
Touch down.
821
00:35:16,982 --> 00:35:19,950
All right.
We have a touchdown.
822
00:35:19,985 --> 00:35:21,818
[bryan] all right.
823
00:35:21,854 --> 00:35:25,489
Let me take
a look around and...
824
00:35:25,524 --> 00:35:28,492
See where jerry left off
I can...
825
00:35:28,527 --> 00:35:30,494
I'm gonna start right here.
826
00:35:34,299 --> 00:35:36,233
Yeah, nice looking material.
827
00:35:37,936 --> 00:35:40,237
[man] have you seen gold yet?
828
00:35:40,272 --> 00:35:43,240
[bryan] oh, man, yeah.
You can see the gold.
829
00:35:43,275 --> 00:35:44,574
Right there, see it?
830
00:35:44,610 --> 00:35:48,178
I got a picker. Whoo.
831
00:35:48,213 --> 00:35:51,181
Oh, man,
there is nice gold down here.
832
00:35:51,216 --> 00:35:52,415
Yeah, this is awesome.
833
00:35:52,451 --> 00:35:55,085
This is what I came here
to nome for. Whoo.
834
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,421
All right. Bryan, you've got
some big shoes to fill.
835
00:35:58,457 --> 00:36:03,827
That damn jerry, he tore
it up, jack, he tore it up.
836
00:36:03,862 --> 00:36:06,763
[jack] that's about one of
the best test mats I've seen.
837
00:36:08,066 --> 00:36:10,200
[jerry] tell jerry
I'm gonna beat him.
838
00:36:10,235 --> 00:36:13,236
-The game is on.
-[laughs]
839
00:36:13,272 --> 00:36:15,972
yeah, full throttle.
Let's go.
840
00:36:16,008 --> 00:36:18,308
Maybe I'm just gonna really
like this competition.
841
00:36:18,343 --> 00:36:20,110
Yeah. I mean,
I might even jump
842
00:36:20,145 --> 00:36:23,880
down there myself
if this [bleep] keeps up.
843
00:36:23,916 --> 00:36:26,383
Fifty-six.
Fifty-six.
844
00:36:28,620 --> 00:36:30,320
The heat is on.
845
00:36:32,624 --> 00:36:34,424
[mike] back in town.
846
00:36:36,929 --> 00:36:39,930
[country music playing]
847
00:36:46,605 --> 00:36:49,172
here comes trouble.
848
00:36:49,208 --> 00:36:50,173
Hey, son.
849
00:36:50,209 --> 00:36:52,042
Hey, how's it going, dad?
850
00:36:52,077 --> 00:36:55,512
-Not too bad.
-Not too bad?
851
00:36:55,547 --> 00:36:59,716
[mike] shawn pomrenke has
an appointment with destiny.
852
00:36:59,751 --> 00:37:01,651
Thinking about retiring.
853
00:37:01,687 --> 00:37:04,321
Yeah, well, it's about time.
854
00:37:04,356 --> 00:37:05,655
It is? [laughs]
855
00:37:05,691 --> 00:37:07,891
well, you just want me
out of your hair.
856
00:37:07,926 --> 00:37:10,260
[laughs]
857
00:37:10,295 --> 00:37:14,931
I'm in for a million
to pay off the tomcod.
858
00:37:14,967 --> 00:37:20,303
And another 350,000
for the myrtle.
859
00:37:20,339 --> 00:37:21,905
I'm already in deep.
860
00:37:21,940 --> 00:37:24,241
The inland mine could
possibly cost me
861
00:37:24,276 --> 00:37:26,409
more than both of those
put together.
862
00:37:26,445 --> 00:37:29,446
In this negotiation, I have
to keep the upper hand.
863
00:37:29,481 --> 00:37:31,781
I need to tread lightly.
864
00:37:31,817 --> 00:37:34,117
You deserve your fair share.
865
00:37:34,152 --> 00:37:35,785
Oh, I'll buy you out.
866
00:37:35,821 --> 00:37:40,457
And I want no [bleep] lawyers
involved either.
867
00:37:40,492 --> 00:37:42,726
If you're gonna be
on a piece of paper notarized
868
00:37:42,761 --> 00:37:44,728
by the notary.
869
00:37:44,763 --> 00:37:47,864
Two pieces of paper,
870
00:37:47,899 --> 00:37:49,833
three pieces of paper,
871
00:37:49,868 --> 00:37:52,636
no, none of this lawyers
bull [bleep].
872
00:37:54,006 --> 00:37:56,506
You know, if you're signature
and handshaking,
873
00:37:56,541 --> 00:37:58,508
good enough than to hell,
we don't need a bunch
874
00:37:58,543 --> 00:37:59,442
of damn lawyers.
875
00:37:59,478 --> 00:38:01,177
We have to do it right,
though.
876
00:38:01,213 --> 00:38:05,315
All right. I'll give you
five pages at the most.
877
00:38:05,350 --> 00:38:06,983
The shorter the better.
878
00:38:07,019 --> 00:38:08,318
Yes, no, I agree.
879
00:38:08,353 --> 00:38:09,653
We can keep it simple.
880
00:38:09,688 --> 00:38:11,054
You come up with a deal.
881
00:38:11,089 --> 00:38:12,922
I'll look at it.
882
00:38:12,958 --> 00:38:14,591
Well, I need
a ballpark figure.
883
00:38:14,626 --> 00:38:17,060
Whoa. [laughs] I ain't giving
you no ballpark figure.
884
00:38:17,095 --> 00:38:19,729
You can figure
that out yourself.
885
00:38:19,765 --> 00:38:21,865
Do you want land? You...
What are you...
886
00:38:21,900 --> 00:38:24,567
-What are you trying to...
-I don't want no land.
887
00:38:24,603 --> 00:38:26,002
I want money.
888
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,940
Retirement money
so I can retire.
889
00:38:32,944 --> 00:38:34,377
Money as in yellow metal.
890
00:38:34,413 --> 00:38:36,546
Well, you're certainly
pretty frugal, so...
891
00:38:36,581 --> 00:38:38,882
Maybe I want to get
extravagant in my life
892
00:38:38,917 --> 00:38:41,084
when I retire
and not be so conservative
893
00:38:41,119 --> 00:38:44,421
as I have been
in my last 30 years.
894
00:38:44,456 --> 00:38:46,723
I need a fishing boat
down in minnesota.
895
00:38:46,758 --> 00:38:49,192
And I need a new fishing
house in the wintertime.
896
00:38:49,227 --> 00:38:51,361
What else do I need?
I need a new...
897
00:38:51,396 --> 00:38:53,763
-[indistinct]
-[steve] ...Pickup to haul
fishing boat.
898
00:38:53,799 --> 00:38:56,066
That's what I need
to have fun in retirement
899
00:38:56,101 --> 00:38:59,536
and I don't have none
of that now.
900
00:38:59,571 --> 00:39:01,604
You know, either you gotta
buy me out,
901
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,606
or I'll find somebody else
to buy me out.
902
00:39:03,642 --> 00:39:04,674
[shawn] whoa.
903
00:39:04,710 --> 00:39:07,010
[upbeat music playing]
904
00:39:07,045 --> 00:39:09,012
[shawn] there isn't no chance
my dad's gonna cut me
905
00:39:09,047 --> 00:39:12,382
any kind of break
because I'm his son.
906
00:39:12,417 --> 00:39:15,018
I would never expect a break
from steve pomrenke
907
00:39:15,053 --> 00:39:18,254
because that's just
how he operates.
908
00:39:18,290 --> 00:39:20,790
The season
is ticking away, shawn.
909
00:39:20,826 --> 00:39:22,592
You know, you're spending
all this money
910
00:39:22,627 --> 00:39:24,394
on the myrtle irene,
that's money
911
00:39:24,429 --> 00:39:28,798
that you should be
using to buy me out with.
912
00:39:28,834 --> 00:39:30,900
From what I'm building
this next dredge I'm building,
913
00:39:30,936 --> 00:39:32,502
there ain't gonna be
no worries.
914
00:39:32,537 --> 00:39:35,038
[steve] yeah, yeah, you're
confident in the myrtle irene,
915
00:39:35,073 --> 00:39:38,475
but, you know, am I?
Eh, I ain't that confident.
916
00:39:38,510 --> 00:39:40,043
Well, that's you.
917
00:39:40,078 --> 00:39:42,245
I know what I'm doing
and I'm gonna show you
918
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,247
how to pile up a [bleep]
ton of gold
919
00:39:44,282 --> 00:39:47,717
-in a short amount of time.
-Oh, yeah? [laughs]
920
00:39:49,087 --> 00:39:51,554
you watch, yeah,
because as soon as we come up
921
00:39:51,590 --> 00:39:53,490
with a price,
you don't think I'm gonna
922
00:39:53,525 --> 00:39:55,592
go out there and dig
until I get it paid off?
923
00:39:55,627 --> 00:39:57,427
-[laughs]
-[bleep] damn right I am.
924
00:39:57,462 --> 00:39:59,429
I'm gonna buy you out.
925
00:39:59,464 --> 00:40:02,732
I'll work on it,
I'll come up with a proposal.
926
00:40:02,768 --> 00:40:04,501
Well, I need
a ballpark figure.
927
00:40:04,536 --> 00:40:07,036
What's the company worth?
928
00:40:07,072 --> 00:40:09,506
I suppose I'll have to look
in the books and see
929
00:40:09,541 --> 00:40:11,174
what it says on the book.
930
00:40:11,209 --> 00:40:12,776
It's worth more
than just the bunch
931
00:40:12,811 --> 00:40:15,111
of the mining equipment,
it's worth the effort
932
00:40:15,147 --> 00:40:17,981
that I put into it in
the last how many years too.
933
00:40:18,016 --> 00:40:20,950
So, add that into that number.
934
00:40:20,986 --> 00:40:23,086
And if you disappoint
me there, then I'm just
935
00:40:23,121 --> 00:40:25,422
gonna discommunicate you.
936
00:40:25,457 --> 00:40:27,857
Or disown you
or whatever that word is.
937
00:40:31,163 --> 00:40:34,664
It sucks that my dad's
the biggest potential obstacle
938
00:40:34,699 --> 00:40:37,300
in the total domination
of mining in nome.
939
00:40:37,335 --> 00:40:39,836
That's just the way it is
between us.
940
00:40:39,871 --> 00:40:41,838
Good news is if I can
buy him out,
941
00:40:41,873 --> 00:40:43,640
I'll never have to worry
about it again.
942
00:40:43,675 --> 00:40:46,376
I'll come up
with a proposal for you.
943
00:40:46,411 --> 00:40:48,645
All right.
944
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:49,979
Simple.
945
00:40:50,015 --> 00:40:53,983
Simple five page contact,
all right?
946
00:40:54,019 --> 00:40:55,852
[shawn] five pages or less.
947
00:41:02,294 --> 00:41:05,295
-[upbeat music playing]
-[zeke grunts]
948
00:41:11,736 --> 00:41:13,102
[zeke] this current.
949
00:41:14,873 --> 00:41:16,506
[mike] after years
on the sidelines,
950
00:41:16,541 --> 00:41:19,843
the rust is clearly
showing for zeke tenhoff.
951
00:41:19,878 --> 00:41:22,378
[zeke] oh, my god.
952
00:41:22,414 --> 00:41:24,514
[mike] as the strong currents
throw the captain
953
00:41:24,549 --> 00:41:28,184
and his sailboat around
like a rag doll.
954
00:41:28,220 --> 00:41:30,520
[zeke grunts]
955
00:41:30,555 --> 00:41:32,455
I'm going to come up
the hose.
956
00:41:32,491 --> 00:41:35,492
[suspenseful music playing]
957
00:41:40,298 --> 00:41:43,266
[zeke] the boat's
all swinging around,
958
00:41:43,301 --> 00:41:47,070
and my tether is wrapped up
in the rudder.
959
00:41:47,105 --> 00:41:50,974
Um, do you think you could
try to pull my tether up?
960
00:41:51,009 --> 00:41:52,308
Yeah, we can do that.
961
00:41:52,344 --> 00:41:54,978
[zeke] thank you.
962
00:41:55,013 --> 00:41:56,646
Hey raven...
963
00:41:56,681 --> 00:41:58,882
-[raven] what's up?
-Pull his umbilical line up.
964
00:41:58,917 --> 00:42:01,985
[suspenseful music playing]
965
00:42:09,427 --> 00:42:12,028
[zeke] that looks good.
We're all untangled now.
966
00:42:15,133 --> 00:42:17,100
[zeke speaking]
967
00:42:23,909 --> 00:42:25,909
[engine revving]
968
00:42:31,883 --> 00:42:33,983
[zeke] the sailboat is really
getting buffeted around
969
00:42:34,019 --> 00:42:37,253
a lot more from these wind and
swells than I expected it to
970
00:42:37,289 --> 00:42:39,923
and it's making it really
almost impossible
971
00:42:39,958 --> 00:42:42,559
to stay on the spot
that I wanted to.
972
00:42:42,594 --> 00:42:46,696
I'm gonna have to readjust
the anchor from the bottom.
973
00:42:46,731 --> 00:42:48,231
I gotta drag the sailboat
974
00:42:48,266 --> 00:42:51,134
over where the cobble is,
and this is not gonna be easy.
975
00:42:53,038 --> 00:42:54,871
Ow! [bleep]
976
00:42:56,174 --> 00:42:58,775
[zeke speaking]
977
00:43:03,448 --> 00:43:04,981
[man] you gotta take care
of yourself.
978
00:43:05,016 --> 00:43:07,016
[man speaking]
979
00:43:07,052 --> 00:43:07,951
all right.
980
00:43:07,986 --> 00:43:09,986
Look, I just...
I worry.
981
00:43:26,938 --> 00:43:28,972
[zeke] climbing down
the anchor line.
982
00:43:29,007 --> 00:43:34,143
He shouldn't be diving
but, you know...
983
00:43:36,448 --> 00:43:38,948
[zeke] the current
is ridiculous.
984
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:43,252
I mean, it must die down,
985
00:43:43,288 --> 00:43:45,088
it must be at its apex
right now
986
00:43:45,123 --> 00:43:48,391
because this is about as hard
as I've ever caught
the current.
987
00:43:52,697 --> 00:43:55,765
I'm gonna pick up the anchor
and I'm gonna walk south
988
00:43:55,834 --> 00:43:58,735
until I find some cobbles.
989
00:43:58,770 --> 00:44:00,036
Does that sound good?
990
00:44:02,540 --> 00:44:05,108
[zeke grunting]
991
00:44:06,911 --> 00:44:09,846
[zeke] it's happening.
992
00:44:09,881 --> 00:44:12,415
[zeke grunting]
993
00:44:16,454 --> 00:44:18,254
doing all right?
994
00:44:18,289 --> 00:44:22,125
[zeke] dude, it's really
hard to move around.
995
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:25,795
-[grunts]
-[man] and we're
right here with you, bud.
996
00:44:25,830 --> 00:44:27,163
[zeke] amen, brother.
997
00:44:28,900 --> 00:44:30,800
Uh, mobility issues.
998
00:44:30,835 --> 00:44:32,969
Having a hard time
moving around.
999
00:44:33,004 --> 00:44:36,005
[zeke grunting]
1000
00:44:38,710 --> 00:44:41,077
how can we help?
1001
00:44:41,112 --> 00:44:42,578
[zeke] dude
1002
00:44:42,614 --> 00:44:45,782
[bleep]
1003
00:44:45,817 --> 00:44:48,184
this is...
1004
00:44:48,219 --> 00:44:49,886
[grunts]
1005
00:44:51,756 --> 00:44:53,389
[man] yeah, man,
I don't know.
1006
00:44:55,593 --> 00:44:59,262
[zeke] I can't really move
because of my back.
1007
00:44:59,297 --> 00:45:00,363
I'm gonna come up.
1008
00:45:04,936 --> 00:45:07,537
[grunts]
1009
00:45:07,572 --> 00:45:10,573
[dramatic music playing]
1010
00:45:12,744 --> 00:45:14,510
[zeke] good news today
is the black swan
1011
00:45:14,546 --> 00:45:16,579
has a super strong dredge
for mining,
1012
00:45:16,614 --> 00:45:19,115
and we're on top
of the gold.
1013
00:45:19,150 --> 00:45:20,383
And the bad news is,
1014
00:45:20,418 --> 00:45:22,285
I really tore
my back out today
1015
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,054
and it's gonna shut me down.
1016
00:45:25,090 --> 00:45:27,390
If I don't get my back fixed,
1017
00:45:27,425 --> 00:45:28,925
I can't dredge.
1018
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:30,126
You know, I'm in the hole.
1019
00:45:30,161 --> 00:45:31,294
That's not gonna work.
1020
00:45:31,329 --> 00:45:32,895
I am useless if I can't move
1021
00:45:32,931 --> 00:45:34,197
the right side of my body,
1022
00:45:34,232 --> 00:45:35,832
so I don't really have
anything more
1023
00:45:35,867 --> 00:45:37,700
to say about that.
And so...
1024
00:45:37,736 --> 00:45:39,535
Well, I'm ready
to pull anchor [indistinct]
1025
00:45:39,571 --> 00:45:41,137
all right. I'm gonna fire up
the outboard.
1026
00:45:43,041 --> 00:45:45,675
Let's go back
to the harbor.
1027
00:45:45,710 --> 00:45:48,711
[eerie music playing]
1028
00:45:55,386 --> 00:45:57,220
whoo, it's great up here.
1029
00:45:57,255 --> 00:45:58,921
I love being up here
1030
00:45:58,957 --> 00:46:03,192
in steve's weird, wild,
wonderful world
1031
00:46:03,228 --> 00:46:04,694
of nome, alaska.
1032
00:46:09,467 --> 00:46:11,768
We're here to talk
about aliens.
1033
00:46:11,803 --> 00:46:13,669
Fact or fiction?
1034
00:46:15,373 --> 00:46:16,773
Me personally,
1035
00:46:16,808 --> 00:46:18,508
I've never seen an alien.
1036
00:46:18,543 --> 00:46:21,077
An alien himself walking
around, you know,
1037
00:46:21,112 --> 00:46:22,211
never seen one.
1038
00:46:24,516 --> 00:46:27,250
But I found out about aliens
1039
00:46:27,285 --> 00:46:31,654
through study,
video, youtube.
1040
00:46:31,689 --> 00:46:35,591
My job today is to dispel
1041
00:46:35,627 --> 00:46:37,226
all the rumors
1042
00:46:37,262 --> 00:46:39,896
and to bring to life
1043
00:46:39,931 --> 00:46:41,931
that aliens are here.
1044
00:46:41,966 --> 00:46:43,466
Alien fact number one.
1045
00:46:45,370 --> 00:46:48,271
They're after our gold.
1046
00:46:48,306 --> 00:46:52,074
The aliens use gold
in their warp drive,
1047
00:46:52,110 --> 00:46:55,578
and we have defenses up
1048
00:46:55,613 --> 00:46:57,880
to detect those mean
old aliens
1049
00:46:57,916 --> 00:46:59,682
that wanna steal our gold.
1050
00:46:59,717 --> 00:47:02,251
Alien fact number two,
1051
00:47:03,688 --> 00:47:06,355
hollywood has got
this thing about
1052
00:47:06,391 --> 00:47:08,591
aliens and anal probes,
1053
00:47:08,626 --> 00:47:09,892
aliens, anal probes.
1054
00:47:09,928 --> 00:47:11,160
It's like when you get
abducted
1055
00:47:11,196 --> 00:47:13,763
the first thing they go for
is the private part.
1056
00:47:15,066 --> 00:47:17,066
[man screams]
1057
00:47:17,101 --> 00:47:20,803
uh-uh, that is a fiction.
1058
00:47:20,839 --> 00:47:22,872
So, I want to dispel that
right away.
1059
00:47:22,907 --> 00:47:24,974
Alien fact number three.
1060
00:47:26,711 --> 00:47:29,579
Popular alien fiction
is they all look like the...
1061
00:47:29,614 --> 00:47:31,747
You know, the funny eyes
and big head,
1062
00:47:31,783 --> 00:47:33,783
hmm, not true.
There are all manner of them,
1063
00:47:33,818 --> 00:47:35,918
little ones, big ones.
1064
00:47:35,954 --> 00:47:37,753
Some don't even
have bodies, really.
1065
00:47:37,789 --> 00:47:39,522
They're like jelly fish.
1066
00:47:40,925 --> 00:47:43,459
Alien fact number four.
1067
00:47:45,463 --> 00:47:48,130
Humans will unite someday
1068
00:47:48,166 --> 00:47:52,201
against this alien
gold-stealing menace.
1069
00:47:52,237 --> 00:47:54,403
It just sickens my heart
1070
00:47:54,439 --> 00:47:57,106
that I can't get
as much gold
1071
00:47:57,141 --> 00:47:59,375
as the aliens do,
and I want to.
1072
00:47:59,410 --> 00:48:01,711
If I could the alien ship
1073
00:48:01,746 --> 00:48:03,813
and sneak in there and get
the gold, 'cause they got...
1074
00:48:03,848 --> 00:48:06,883
They got pounds of it there,
it feeds their warp drive.
1075
00:48:06,918 --> 00:48:09,585
That's pretty much all you
need to know about aliens
in nome.
1076
00:48:09,621 --> 00:48:13,990
Oh, and that any species
that has a warp drive
1077
00:48:14,025 --> 00:48:17,193
is not interested
in doing probes
1078
00:48:17,228 --> 00:48:20,196
in your private bottom,
1079
00:48:20,231 --> 00:48:22,164
unless you're one
of the really strange
1080
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:23,399
minors around here,
1081
00:48:23,434 --> 00:48:24,934
and I won't even go there.
1082
00:48:24,969 --> 00:48:26,469
Hoowee!
1083
00:48:30,174 --> 00:48:32,808
[suspenseful music playing]
1084
00:48:32,844 --> 00:48:34,744
[mike] east of nome, alaska.
1085
00:48:37,682 --> 00:48:39,715
[steve] oh, that's a shack,
shack, shack.
1086
00:48:39,751 --> 00:48:41,550
-Yeah, how's that?
-Never been...
1087
00:48:41,586 --> 00:48:43,519
There you go, dad,
that's your next, uh, rental.
1088
00:48:43,554 --> 00:48:45,354
Yeah, my next project.
1089
00:48:45,390 --> 00:48:49,091
[mike] the riedels
are on a recon mission.
1090
00:48:49,127 --> 00:48:51,294
[steve]
I could invest with you,
1091
00:48:51,329 --> 00:48:52,895
but first I gotta get
enough gold
1092
00:48:52,931 --> 00:48:55,131
to buy gas for this thing.
1093
00:48:55,166 --> 00:48:56,732
[mike] gathering intel
for emily's
1094
00:48:56,768 --> 00:48:59,168
potential claim purchase.
1095
00:49:02,407 --> 00:49:03,673
[emily] I like that,
let's go look it up.
1096
00:49:03,708 --> 00:49:05,007
[steve] all right.
1097
00:49:08,246 --> 00:49:09,245
Uh-huh.
1098
00:49:12,216 --> 00:49:15,251
All intents,
that is like beach mine.
1099
00:49:15,286 --> 00:49:16,285
-Yeah.
-Thank you.
1100
00:49:16,321 --> 00:49:17,820
Welcome back to the race,
1101
00:49:17,855 --> 00:49:19,322
the beach rat race.
1102
00:49:19,357 --> 00:49:20,556
[grunts]
1103
00:49:20,591 --> 00:49:23,059
old pans and classifier,
1104
00:49:23,094 --> 00:49:24,860
uh, lunch for the day,
1105
00:49:24,896 --> 00:49:28,164
broths and pizza,
1106
00:49:28,199 --> 00:49:30,599
and, uh, we didn't
bring any...
1107
00:49:30,635 --> 00:49:33,169
We grabbed a bucket.
1108
00:49:33,204 --> 00:49:35,905
We forgot a bucket,
but it's all right.
1109
00:49:35,940 --> 00:49:38,174
We'll use the pans.
1110
00:49:38,209 --> 00:49:39,608
Okay, emily,
you tell me what to do,
1111
00:49:39,644 --> 00:49:41,177
you're the real gold miner.
1112
00:49:43,314 --> 00:49:45,181
You can pan almost
anywhere down here,
1113
00:49:45,216 --> 00:49:47,616
you can pan
these, uh, red sand,
1114
00:49:47,652 --> 00:49:49,218
red and crushed iron sands,
1115
00:49:49,253 --> 00:49:51,854
and, uh, find
a little bit of gold.
1116
00:49:51,889 --> 00:49:55,024
It doesn't matter how much,
but what you wanna do,
1117
00:49:55,059 --> 00:49:57,426
if you find something
like this,
1118
00:49:57,462 --> 00:50:01,397
or the red sand is
right over the clay here.
1119
00:50:01,432 --> 00:50:06,402
And then, you, uh,
take, like, a little bit
1120
00:50:06,437 --> 00:50:08,304
to do a test pan with.
1121
00:50:08,373 --> 00:50:12,041
We just wanna do
a real quick pan.
1122
00:50:12,076 --> 00:50:14,777
Gold likes to hang out
with other heavy minerals,
1123
00:50:14,812 --> 00:50:17,947
so you wanna look
for a good concentration
1124
00:50:17,982 --> 00:50:20,383
of red and black sands.
1125
00:50:20,418 --> 00:50:24,420
If there's a decent indication
of gold in the test pans,
1126
00:50:24,455 --> 00:50:26,455
you might be able to assume
1127
00:50:26,491 --> 00:50:28,591
that there's some decent gold
out in the ocean.
1128
00:50:30,161 --> 00:50:32,128
Okay.
1129
00:50:32,163 --> 00:50:33,963
You just take it.
1130
00:50:35,900 --> 00:50:39,769
I'm just trying to do
a pretty quick pan of it,
1131
00:50:39,804 --> 00:50:43,139
so you don't have to be
too careful.
1132
00:50:43,174 --> 00:50:45,341
[steve] generally, you never
turn your back on the sea.
1133
00:50:45,376 --> 00:50:47,743
-That's kind of a rule
when you're on the beach.
-Is that a rule?
1134
00:50:47,779 --> 00:50:49,979
-Yeah.
-Is that a steve riedel rule?
1135
00:50:50,014 --> 00:50:51,981
No. No, that's a rule
everywhere, yeah.
1136
00:50:52,016 --> 00:50:54,617
-So like a sailor's rule?
-No, it's like a rule...
1137
00:50:54,652 --> 00:50:56,252
Well, dad, the problem is,
1138
00:50:56,287 --> 00:50:58,254
is I have to either turn
my back on the sea
1139
00:50:58,289 --> 00:51:00,623
or turn my back on the steve,
and I think I'd...
1140
00:51:00,658 --> 00:51:03,859
-I'll stand over there.
-[emily] I'd rather turn
my back on the sea.
1141
00:51:03,895 --> 00:51:05,327
Don't turn your back on me.
1142
00:51:05,363 --> 00:51:06,729
[emily] exactly.
1143
00:51:06,764 --> 00:51:08,631
Beach gold is super,
super fine.
1144
00:51:08,666 --> 00:51:10,933
That's the pain
in the butt about it.
1145
00:51:10,968 --> 00:51:14,236
If it was coarser,
there'd probably be
a lot more beach miners.
1146
00:51:16,574 --> 00:51:18,274
[steve]
how's it looking, emmy?
1147
00:51:20,778 --> 00:51:22,745
Yeah, I see some flakes.
1148
00:51:26,617 --> 00:51:30,453
It's there. There's gold
but very, very fine.
1149
00:51:30,488 --> 00:51:33,422
[steve] it is super fine,
yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.
1150
00:51:33,458 --> 00:51:34,457
Oh, yeah,
there's a bunch of it
1151
00:51:34,492 --> 00:51:36,292
but it's really, really fine.
1152
00:51:36,327 --> 00:51:37,326
Very, very fine.
1153
00:51:39,697 --> 00:51:41,664
-Yeah, I'm not crazy about it.
-There's no gold here, really.
1154
00:51:41,699 --> 00:51:43,866
Just a little,
just hardly to see it.
1155
00:51:43,901 --> 00:51:46,869
-We wanna see
some bigger pieces.
-[steve] okay.
1156
00:51:46,904 --> 00:51:49,305
[emily] and there you wanna
see more of it.
1157
00:51:49,340 --> 00:51:52,274
The first test pan
that we did on three,
1158
00:51:52,310 --> 00:51:53,943
a little bit of fine gold,
1159
00:51:53,978 --> 00:51:56,011
nothing at all very exciting.
1160
00:51:56,047 --> 00:51:57,480
So far not so good,
1161
00:51:57,515 --> 00:52:00,516
but, uh, it's totally worth
doing more prospecting.
1162
00:52:00,551 --> 00:52:03,552
Let's, uh, let's head over
to that creek right there.
1163
00:52:03,588 --> 00:52:05,688
-Okay.
-[emily] and take
another sample.
1164
00:52:05,723 --> 00:52:07,156
All right.
1165
00:52:07,191 --> 00:52:10,493
[emily] I'll get back
and, uh, side by side,
1166
00:52:10,528 --> 00:52:12,328
-keep looking.
-[steve] yeah.
1167
00:52:12,363 --> 00:52:15,431
Onward and overboard,
let's go.
1168
00:52:19,504 --> 00:52:23,105
[mike] 120 miles east,
1169
00:52:23,141 --> 00:52:25,374
in a far-off land.
1170
00:52:25,409 --> 00:52:28,410
[suspenseful music playing]
1171
00:52:34,652 --> 00:52:38,287
[kris] I've got a place
where it's a little thicker,
1172
00:52:38,322 --> 00:52:40,990
getting my hopes up.
1173
00:52:41,025 --> 00:52:44,059
[mike] kris kelly
is still grinding away.
1174
00:52:44,095 --> 00:52:47,796
[kris] nope, nothing so far.
1175
00:52:47,832 --> 00:52:49,532
[brad]
yeah, well, keep looking.
1176
00:52:49,567 --> 00:52:51,066
[kris] okay, I'm moving.
1177
00:52:51,102 --> 00:52:53,702
[mike] determined to make
his epic journey
1178
00:52:53,738 --> 00:52:55,538
an epic success.
1179
00:52:55,573 --> 00:52:57,039
It took a long time
for us to get here.
1180
00:52:57,074 --> 00:52:59,074
Um, kris is
just walking around.
1181
00:52:59,110 --> 00:53:00,609
He's looking around
on the bottom right there.
1182
00:53:00,645 --> 00:53:03,212
[kris] all it is
is sand and rocks.
1183
00:53:03,247 --> 00:53:06,682
Same at the... We're on
a massive rock base down here,
1184
00:53:06,717 --> 00:53:09,451
like, my [indistinct]
extended out.
1185
00:53:09,487 --> 00:53:12,788
[kris] I'm really not seeing
anything gold in all of them.
1186
00:53:12,823 --> 00:53:15,691
-Okay, well, keep looking.
-[kris] yeah.
1187
00:53:15,726 --> 00:53:18,494
I'm working it like crazy.
1188
00:53:18,529 --> 00:53:19,795
I'm trying my best, man.
1189
00:53:19,830 --> 00:53:22,264
I can't make gold in here.
1190
00:53:25,636 --> 00:53:28,437
Okay, I'm 40 feet away.
1191
00:53:28,472 --> 00:53:30,739
Now we're finding big rocks.
1192
00:53:32,343 --> 00:53:34,610
Here we go, here we go.
1193
00:53:34,645 --> 00:53:37,780
Hey, guys I found
a really big rock.
1194
00:53:37,815 --> 00:53:42,318
Underneath big rocks,
there are sometimes big gold.
1195
00:53:42,353 --> 00:53:43,852
[brad] you think gold
underneath?
1196
00:53:43,888 --> 00:53:45,521
[kris] I don't know,
I'm gonna lift it right now.
1197
00:53:45,556 --> 00:53:48,824
Trying to get
some leverage on it.
1198
00:53:48,859 --> 00:53:51,860
[grunting]
1199
00:54:00,104 --> 00:54:01,270
[groaning]
1200
00:54:03,507 --> 00:54:05,941
kris, you all right
down there?
1201
00:54:05,976 --> 00:54:09,612
[kris] I just [bleep]
my knee up.
1202
00:54:09,647 --> 00:54:10,746
Ow.
1203
00:54:14,685 --> 00:54:16,452
I'm coming up.
1204
00:54:17,922 --> 00:54:22,391
[brad] andy, he's coming up.
1205
00:54:22,426 --> 00:54:24,560
[kris] sorry, guys.
1206
00:54:24,595 --> 00:54:26,462
This sucks.
1207
00:54:26,497 --> 00:54:29,498
[kris speaking]
1208
00:54:33,504 --> 00:54:36,505
[kris groaning]
1209
00:54:38,843 --> 00:54:40,676
oh, man.
1210
00:54:49,353 --> 00:54:50,719
Oh.
1211
00:54:50,755 --> 00:54:52,354
[man] he's just so eager
to prove
1212
00:54:52,390 --> 00:54:54,657
that he's gonna
get gold out here
1213
00:54:54,692 --> 00:54:56,058
and he kind of overdid it.
1214
00:54:56,093 --> 00:54:57,326
Now he hurt himself.
1215
00:54:57,361 --> 00:54:59,795
[kris] I can't do
with one leg.
1216
00:54:59,830 --> 00:55:01,463
[man] he has to slow down,
he has to slow down
1217
00:55:01,499 --> 00:55:03,565
a little bit,
take a deep breath.
1218
00:55:03,634 --> 00:55:05,234
[kris] I'm done for the day.
1219
00:55:08,606 --> 00:55:10,239
[kris] the ground
is solid rock.
1220
00:55:10,274 --> 00:55:13,042
No clay layer,
no cobble, no nothing.
1221
00:55:13,077 --> 00:55:14,343
Elim has sucked so far.
1222
00:55:14,378 --> 00:55:15,577
It's been a money pit
1223
00:55:15,612 --> 00:55:17,413
and it's costing us
a fortune.
1224
00:55:19,417 --> 00:55:20,716
Now my knee's messed up.
1225
00:55:20,751 --> 00:55:23,919
Now andy's gotta go down
and turn our luck around.
1226
00:55:23,954 --> 00:55:25,487
[andy] are we pulling around
the boat right now?
1227
00:55:25,523 --> 00:55:27,356
[brad] uh-huh. We're gonna...
Let's give it five minutes,
1228
00:55:27,391 --> 00:55:28,924
and, uh, you go back down.
1229
00:55:28,959 --> 00:55:32,294
[andy] all right.
Yeah, I'll be [indistinct].
1230
00:55:32,330 --> 00:55:35,731
Andy's gonna, uh, go next.
1231
00:55:35,766 --> 00:55:38,067
We gotta keep the ball
rolling, you know?
1232
00:55:38,102 --> 00:55:41,737
[dramatic music playing]
1233
00:55:41,772 --> 00:55:43,472
[kris] we're too far away
from shore.
1234
00:55:43,507 --> 00:55:45,007
Everything's
starting to kick up.
1235
00:55:45,042 --> 00:55:47,242
We're gonna reposition
the boat closer to shore
1236
00:55:47,278 --> 00:55:48,777
and andy's gonna
start prospecting
1237
00:55:48,813 --> 00:55:49,878
towards iron creek.
1238
00:55:49,914 --> 00:55:51,313
We're not giving up yet.
1239
00:55:54,752 --> 00:55:58,721
[motor starting]
1240
00:55:58,756 --> 00:56:00,456
yeah, round two. We're gonna
have a lot of rounds.
1241
00:56:00,491 --> 00:56:02,257
You know what
I mean? It's not...
If it was that easy,
1242
00:56:02,293 --> 00:56:03,525
everybody and their dog
would be here
1243
00:56:03,561 --> 00:56:05,561
jumping off the boat
and getting gold.
1244
00:56:05,596 --> 00:56:06,762
You gotta look for it.
1245
00:56:06,797 --> 00:56:08,130
You gotta find it.
1246
00:56:08,165 --> 00:56:10,265
You gotta work for it.
1247
00:56:10,334 --> 00:56:11,734
[kris] take the dive.
1248
00:56:23,381 --> 00:56:24,580
[brad] are you okay
down there, andy?
1249
00:56:24,615 --> 00:56:26,682
[andy] yeah, I'm fine.
1250
00:56:26,717 --> 00:56:28,350
We'll see what happens.
1251
00:56:28,386 --> 00:56:29,852
Hopefully he can really
produce something
1252
00:56:29,887 --> 00:56:32,020
right off the bat
would be nice.
1253
00:56:32,056 --> 00:56:34,757
[andy] all right. I landed
right on the rock bed.
1254
00:56:36,927 --> 00:56:39,294
What's happening?
No cobble?
1255
00:56:39,330 --> 00:56:41,196
[andy] no.
I'm seeing all rock.
1256
00:56:43,534 --> 00:56:45,667
I got a nice
little crevice in here.
1257
00:56:48,739 --> 00:56:50,439
Well, see how deep it is.
1258
00:56:50,474 --> 00:56:53,876
Try and follow back
and see where it goes.
1259
00:56:53,911 --> 00:56:56,412
[andy] yeah,
I can check it out.
1260
00:57:00,117 --> 00:57:02,451
Yeah, I got clay.
1261
00:57:02,486 --> 00:57:03,685
Got some clay right there.
1262
00:57:03,721 --> 00:57:04,686
Oh, he found some clay.
1263
00:57:04,722 --> 00:57:06,255
So it's more productive,
1264
00:57:06,290 --> 00:57:07,723
so we'll see
what he finds here.
1265
00:57:07,758 --> 00:57:10,058
Maybe he'll find some gold.
1266
00:57:10,094 --> 00:57:11,727
[andy] and then once
you get past the clay layer
1267
00:57:11,762 --> 00:57:15,364
there's, uh, a little bit
of cobble that's loose.
1268
00:57:15,399 --> 00:57:18,934
Sand on top but the cobble's
a couple inches down below.
1269
00:57:18,969 --> 00:57:23,071
[brad] well,
that's good news, andy.
1270
00:57:23,107 --> 00:57:24,907
[andy] hey, don't get
their hopes up there, bud,
1271
00:57:24,942 --> 00:57:27,042
let me just see what's here.
1272
00:57:27,077 --> 00:57:29,244
Get in there.
1273
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:32,881
Let's see what...
Let's see what's right here.
1274
00:57:34,718 --> 00:57:36,251
Hold up.
1275
00:57:36,287 --> 00:57:39,121
Come on.
1276
00:57:39,156 --> 00:57:41,924
All right.
1277
00:57:41,959 --> 00:57:43,492
What are you seeing, andy?
1278
00:57:47,431 --> 00:57:49,264
[andy] yeah, there's a little
bit of gold right here.
1279
00:57:52,369 --> 00:57:56,038
[brad] hey, he found gold!
1280
00:57:56,073 --> 00:57:57,906
He found gold!
1281
00:57:57,942 --> 00:57:59,508
[laughs]
1282
00:57:59,543 --> 00:58:01,810
[kris] now we're ready
to rock and roll.
1283
00:58:01,846 --> 00:58:03,278
[brad] well,
try and follow that gold
1284
00:58:03,314 --> 00:58:05,247
and see where it goes.
1285
00:58:09,453 --> 00:58:12,588
[andy] that's basically it.
1286
00:58:12,623 --> 00:58:16,391
So wait, you're not seeing
nothing again, andy?
1287
00:58:16,427 --> 00:58:17,693
[andy] yeah,
just that little bit.
1288
00:58:17,728 --> 00:58:19,495
That was it.
1289
00:58:19,530 --> 00:58:20,963
There wasn't even
a whole lot either,
1290
00:58:20,998 --> 00:58:23,799
a couple of speck,
but hey,
1291
00:58:23,834 --> 00:58:26,134
from what I've seen
all season.
1292
00:58:26,170 --> 00:58:28,637
[dramatic music playing]
1293
00:58:28,672 --> 00:58:29,938
[brad] yeah, we got
a little bit of gold
1294
00:58:29,974 --> 00:58:32,007
but nothing worthwhile
for staking a claim yet.
1295
00:58:32,042 --> 00:58:35,444
But there is gold here.
1296
00:58:35,479 --> 00:58:37,379
Don't give up yet.
We just have to look around.
1297
00:58:37,414 --> 00:58:40,182
It's here.
We just gotta find it.
1298
00:58:42,353 --> 00:58:44,686
[andy] let me get the hell
out of here.
1299
00:58:46,857 --> 00:58:48,023
[kris]
I know it's still early,
1300
00:58:48,058 --> 00:58:49,358
but it can't go down
like this.
1301
00:58:49,393 --> 00:58:51,493
Not after this many years.
1302
00:58:51,529 --> 00:58:53,962
We've staked
everything on elim.
1303
00:58:53,998 --> 00:58:56,665
I have faith. I have no
choice at this point.
1304
00:58:58,836 --> 00:59:00,035
[brad] is everything
going good?
1305
00:59:00,070 --> 00:59:01,803
[andy] it's going fine,
if it gets any better,
1306
00:59:01,839 --> 00:59:04,139
I'll let you know.
1307
00:59:04,174 --> 00:59:05,607
Yeah, no, we've gotta
make this work.
1308
00:59:05,643 --> 00:59:07,075
We came all this way
down to elim,
1309
00:59:07,111 --> 00:59:08,677
I know we've gotta
make this work.
1310
00:59:14,952 --> 00:59:17,753
[dramatic music playing]
1311
00:59:17,788 --> 00:59:21,056
[mike] 120 miles
east of nome, alaska.
1312
00:59:27,097 --> 00:59:29,431
[brad] how's it going
down there?
1313
00:59:29,466 --> 00:59:32,434
[andy speaking]
1314
00:59:34,905 --> 00:59:37,072
punched another hole,
he saw through the hole,
1315
00:59:37,107 --> 00:59:39,675
now he's punching.
1316
00:59:39,710 --> 00:59:42,678
All sand to hard bedrock.
1317
00:59:43,948 --> 00:59:45,981
[mike]
hours into the first day,
1318
00:59:46,016 --> 00:59:48,584
and all the kellys
have mined so far
1319
00:59:48,619 --> 00:59:52,120
is heartbreak.
1320
00:59:52,156 --> 00:59:53,655
[producer speaking]
1321
00:59:53,691 --> 00:59:55,624
yeah, and elim,
that's the problem with it,
1322
00:59:55,659 --> 00:59:58,393
it's a tough mission
right now, so.
1323
00:59:58,429 --> 01:00:00,596
What are you seeing, andy?
1324
01:00:00,631 --> 01:00:01,964
[andy] it's the same
as it was going
1325
01:00:01,999 --> 01:00:05,033
just like four minutes
ago, dad.
1326
01:00:05,069 --> 01:00:08,904
I'm still seeing no gold.
1327
01:00:08,939 --> 01:00:13,308
It's all sand
[indistinct] rock bed now.
1328
01:00:17,314 --> 01:00:19,615
[kris] so far this trip sucks.
1329
01:00:19,650 --> 01:00:22,050
It's costing me twice
as much as I thought.
1330
01:00:22,086 --> 01:00:25,687
We left late, we haven't
found anything all day.
1331
01:00:25,723 --> 01:00:27,956
And andy isn't finding
anything.
1332
01:00:29,793 --> 01:00:35,197
[andy] my boat's shifting
and pulling my umbilical.
1333
01:00:35,232 --> 01:00:37,466
It's just pulling me
along with it.
1334
01:00:41,105 --> 01:00:42,638
[brad] so what do you
wanna do? You wanna come up?
1335
01:00:42,673 --> 01:00:45,674
[andy speaking]
1336
01:00:49,313 --> 01:00:51,613
okay.
Come on up, then.
1337
01:00:51,649 --> 01:00:52,948
[andy] I'm gonna get
the hell out of here.
1338
01:00:52,983 --> 01:00:55,484
[brad] kris, pull him in.
1339
01:00:59,256 --> 01:01:00,489
[kris] screw this area.
1340
01:01:00,524 --> 01:01:02,791
There's no point
to keep going here.
1341
01:01:02,826 --> 01:01:05,627
I can't remember a day
we actually got no gold.
1342
01:01:05,663 --> 01:01:08,497
[motor stopping]
1343
01:01:08,532 --> 01:01:12,334
[andy] yeah, it's sand
as far as the eye can see.
1344
01:01:12,369 --> 01:01:14,403
Well, this is...
This claim's garbage.
1345
01:01:14,438 --> 01:01:17,005
-Yeah.
-Hell, they all
can't be winners.
1346
01:01:18,709 --> 01:01:22,077
[bleep] bummed out.
1347
01:01:22,112 --> 01:01:24,880
Sorry, everybody to lead you
on a wild goose chase.
1348
01:01:24,915 --> 01:01:28,016
-[man] it's not over yet.
-[bleep] we're gonna push
a little harder.
1349
01:01:28,052 --> 01:01:30,519
[kris] this isn't working
the way I wanted it to work.
1350
01:01:30,554 --> 01:01:32,354
-[man] we're trying, dude.
-Well, I know you're trying.
1351
01:01:32,389 --> 01:01:34,156
You can't make gold appear.
I'm not mad at you.
1352
01:01:34,191 --> 01:01:36,358
I'm mad at me.
I'm mad at me.
1353
01:01:36,393 --> 01:01:40,095
-[man] I'm mad at you, too.
-I'm mad at me.
1354
01:01:40,130 --> 01:01:42,831
We're gonna reposition
tomorrow, try another area.
1355
01:01:42,866 --> 01:01:45,267
We really need the luck
of the irish to come through.
1356
01:01:45,302 --> 01:01:46,902
We can't afford
to stay on an area
1357
01:01:46,937 --> 01:01:50,472
that doesn't have any gold.
1358
01:01:50,474 --> 01:01:53,241
[man] don't worry [indistinct]
we'll make it work.
1359
01:01:53,277 --> 01:01:57,112
[dramatic music playing]
1360
01:01:57,147 --> 01:01:59,147
[mike] 120 miles west.
1361
01:02:05,055 --> 01:02:08,056
Hey, brian, what are you
seeing down there?
1362
01:02:08,092 --> 01:02:11,093
[brian speaking]
1363
01:02:12,429 --> 01:02:13,795
[mike] the competition to see
1364
01:02:13,831 --> 01:02:16,331
who can make vernon adkison
the richest
1365
01:02:16,366 --> 01:02:17,532
is in the home stretch.
1366
01:02:17,568 --> 01:02:19,201
[vernon] gary's up here
and he's saying,
1367
01:02:19,236 --> 01:02:20,502
"there's no way in hell.
1368
01:02:20,537 --> 01:02:23,305
The guy's a lightweight,
he got lots to learn.
1369
01:02:23,340 --> 01:02:25,841
I bagged it
and he's just a beginner."
1370
01:02:25,876 --> 01:02:28,176
so, um, I don't know, brian.
1371
01:02:28,212 --> 01:02:29,511
You might have to have
a talk with him
1372
01:02:29,546 --> 01:02:31,046
when you get back up here.
1373
01:02:32,549 --> 01:02:34,049
[brian] I'm gonna get
double the amount of gold
1374
01:02:34,084 --> 01:02:36,418
than gary got,
that's for sure.
1375
01:02:36,453 --> 01:02:37,686
[vernon] I'm loving this.
1376
01:02:37,721 --> 01:02:40,355
My divers are in competition
with each other.
1377
01:02:40,390 --> 01:02:41,623
They're bringing in the gold,
1378
01:02:41,658 --> 01:02:44,159
it's like a gold cash
register.
1379
01:02:44,194 --> 01:02:45,694
Ka-ching, ka-ching, ka-ching.
1380
01:02:48,532 --> 01:02:50,332
Brian, I'm up here
watching you work, man.
1381
01:02:50,367 --> 01:02:54,436
[gary speaking]
1382
01:02:54,471 --> 01:02:55,837
[brian] [laughs] uh-oh.
1383
01:02:55,873 --> 01:02:57,305
Amateur.
1384
01:02:57,341 --> 01:02:59,441
[laughter]
1385
01:02:59,476 --> 01:03:02,010
[brian] oh yeah,
I got [indistinct]
1386
01:03:02,045 --> 01:03:04,913
[vernon] all right. That look
like a real good gap.
1387
01:03:04,948 --> 01:03:07,182
[man] awesome. Come on up.
1388
01:03:07,217 --> 01:03:08,850
[vernon] and I don't know,
gary is saying
1389
01:03:08,886 --> 01:03:11,253
he's got you beat,
but we'll find out.
1390
01:03:11,288 --> 01:03:13,188
[brian]
all right. Sounds good.
1391
01:03:13,223 --> 01:03:14,523
I'm on my way.
1392
01:03:14,558 --> 01:03:16,491
[vernon] all right.
We'll check out
the test match.
1393
01:03:16,527 --> 01:03:17,492
Yeah.
1394
01:03:17,528 --> 01:03:19,494
Gold is the prime motivator.
1395
01:03:19,530 --> 01:03:20,929
There are four prime
motivators,
1396
01:03:20,964 --> 01:03:22,864
food, shelter,
sex, and gold.
1397
01:03:22,900 --> 01:03:24,466
Oh, hell, yeah,
I beat gary.
1398
01:03:24,501 --> 01:03:27,335
I saw so much gold down there,
it's not even funny.
1399
01:03:27,371 --> 01:03:29,204
[vernon] ha, we will find out
here in a minute.
1400
01:03:29,239 --> 01:03:32,073
Which ones comes first
for me,
1401
01:03:32,109 --> 01:03:33,842
I'll let you figure
that one out.
1402
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:38,780
All right.
You guys have got a side bet
1403
01:03:38,816 --> 01:03:43,218
of a hundred dollars riding on
who has the best reveal.
1404
01:03:43,253 --> 01:03:46,121
Are you ready
for the big throwdown?
1405
01:03:46,156 --> 01:03:47,589
Whip it up.
1406
01:03:47,624 --> 01:03:49,591
Ah. Okay.
1407
01:03:49,626 --> 01:03:52,727
That is pretty damn decent.
1408
01:03:52,763 --> 01:03:55,063
That's a few grams
right there.
1409
01:03:55,098 --> 01:03:57,432
-[gary] here's mine.
-[vernon] oh.
1410
01:03:57,467 --> 01:03:59,467
Bada-bing.
1411
01:03:59,503 --> 01:04:00,902
Damn.
1412
01:04:00,938 --> 01:04:02,938
I gotta say,
I mean, just from...
1413
01:04:02,973 --> 01:04:07,676
The... From an eyeball
perspective,
1414
01:04:07,711 --> 01:04:08,610
brian's got [indistinct]
1415
01:04:08,645 --> 01:04:09,978
oh, yeah, smiley.
1416
01:04:10,013 --> 01:04:12,180
[laughs] that's not bad
for a test mat.
1417
01:04:12,216 --> 01:04:14,983
[vernon] it looks like brian
wins the trip to vegas
1418
01:04:15,018 --> 01:04:16,885
and hundred bucks
for the day.
1419
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:18,553
But judging by
the test mats,
1420
01:04:18,589 --> 01:04:20,655
they both put a lot of ounces
in the box.
1421
01:04:20,691 --> 01:04:22,224
Man, that's a lot of gold.
1422
01:04:22,259 --> 01:04:24,326
[vernon] hey, whatever
you get in that test pan,
1423
01:04:24,361 --> 01:04:26,228
there's 10 times
as much in the box.
1424
01:04:26,263 --> 01:04:27,329
[brian] awesome.
1425
01:04:28,765 --> 01:04:30,065
[vernon] I'm pleased.
1426
01:04:30,100 --> 01:04:33,034
And if gold daddy's happy,
everybody's happy.
1427
01:04:35,339 --> 01:04:36,838
[mike] down the coast...
1428
01:04:36,874 --> 01:04:39,975
[seagull squawking]
1429
01:04:40,010 --> 01:04:43,011
[upbeat music playing]
1430
01:04:45,349 --> 01:04:47,215
[emily] thank you.
Thank you. All right.
1431
01:04:47,251 --> 01:04:49,818
[mike] the riedels look
to make a final call
1432
01:04:49,853 --> 01:04:52,821
on the golden prospects
of claim three.
1433
01:04:52,856 --> 01:04:54,456
[steve] any, uh, promising
[indistinct]
1434
01:04:54,491 --> 01:04:55,790
[emily] yeah, I like this.
1435
01:04:55,826 --> 01:04:58,193
These got like a black
and red layer right here.
1436
01:04:58,228 --> 01:05:01,062
A lot...A lot of, uh,
a lot more black than red.
1437
01:05:01,098 --> 01:05:02,230
You see that?
1438
01:05:02,266 --> 01:05:04,199
Kinda coming,
looks stratified right here.
1439
01:05:04,234 --> 01:05:05,634
[steve] uh-huh.
1440
01:05:05,669 --> 01:05:08,370
Actually, I have no idea
what I'm doing out here.
1441
01:05:08,405 --> 01:05:10,005
But I'm glad to help emily
1442
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:13,008
while she goes
and scopes the sites.
1443
01:05:13,043 --> 01:05:15,543
Besides, I have nothing
better to do.
1444
01:05:15,579 --> 01:05:17,979
I don't have any job here
in nome.
1445
01:05:18,015 --> 01:05:20,048
And if emily finds
some gold,
1446
01:05:20,083 --> 01:05:24,753
maybe there's something in it
for me.
1447
01:05:24,788 --> 01:05:28,189
[emily]
bigger garnet pieces here.
1448
01:05:30,827 --> 01:05:34,195
Let's do a little test
pan here.
1449
01:05:34,231 --> 01:05:37,032
There's a major river that
comes out through this area.
1450
01:05:37,067 --> 01:05:38,700
And chances are, there's
a decent amount of gold
1451
01:05:38,735 --> 01:05:40,001
showing in this river,
1452
01:05:40,037 --> 01:05:42,003
then it's washing out
into the bering sea.
1453
01:05:42,039 --> 01:05:43,004
It's a little bit...
1454
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:46,675
A little bit
of mineralization here.
1455
01:05:46,710 --> 01:05:49,244
But, uh,
it's mostly sugar sand,
1456
01:05:49,279 --> 01:05:50,512
so there's a lot
of light stuff,
1457
01:05:50,547 --> 01:05:52,547
I thought I'd check it out.
1458
01:05:53,717 --> 01:05:54,849
See, look at that.
1459
01:05:54,885 --> 01:05:57,118
All that heavy mineral
content right there.
1460
01:05:57,154 --> 01:05:58,753
-[steve] oh, okay.
-[emily] it's a lot, uh,
1461
01:05:58,789 --> 01:06:01,723
a lot of, like,
light stuff mixed in there.
1462
01:06:04,027 --> 01:06:06,061
Man, I feel like an old-timer
gold miner right now,
1463
01:06:06,096 --> 01:06:07,228
panning to a stream.
1464
01:06:07,264 --> 01:06:08,863
[steve] you are.
It's how they did it.
1465
01:06:08,899 --> 01:06:11,933
Came out with pans
and shovels, picks.
1466
01:06:15,906 --> 01:06:18,273
[emily] I'm really not seeing
anything exciting, dad.
1467
01:06:18,308 --> 01:06:19,574
[steve] aw.
1468
01:06:19,609 --> 01:06:21,142
[emily] that layer looked
really interesting.
1469
01:06:21,178 --> 01:06:22,978
[steve] well, yeah, it had
lot of, uh, black sands,
1470
01:06:23,013 --> 01:06:24,079
and red, and...
1471
01:06:24,114 --> 01:06:25,714
Well, there's some
gold in it.
1472
01:06:25,749 --> 01:06:28,483
Not really enough to, like,
1473
01:06:28,518 --> 01:06:30,852
make me excited
about this claim.
1474
01:06:33,623 --> 01:06:35,256
There's a little bit
of fine gold,
1475
01:06:35,292 --> 01:06:37,092
but the gold needs
to be concentrated
1476
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:39,194
and present
in greater amounts.
1477
01:06:39,229 --> 01:06:42,230
So it's not really worth
staying here.
1478
01:06:43,300 --> 01:06:46,368
Oh, gosh,
it looked so promising.
1479
01:06:46,403 --> 01:06:48,670
But there's just
not much gold in it.
1480
01:06:48,705 --> 01:06:50,538
What happened to the gold?
1481
01:06:50,574 --> 01:06:53,141
All the good signs
but the gold.
1482
01:06:53,176 --> 01:06:54,676
I'm getting kinda hungry.
1483
01:06:54,711 --> 01:06:58,246
Okay.
I'll get some firewood.
1484
01:06:58,281 --> 01:06:59,914
We can pretty much
1485
01:06:59,950 --> 01:07:02,384
cross three and four
off the list.
1486
01:07:02,419 --> 01:07:04,319
So this leaves claim six.
1487
01:07:04,354 --> 01:07:06,855
Hopefully,
it has something to show us.
1488
01:07:06,890 --> 01:07:09,357
Otherwise, I don't know
if I should go east at all.
1489
01:07:16,266 --> 01:07:17,665
[steve]
uh, how am I gonna do this?
1490
01:07:17,701 --> 01:07:19,267
-This...
-[laughs]
1491
01:07:19,302 --> 01:07:20,502
right in there.
1492
01:07:20,537 --> 01:07:23,038
Yeah.
1493
01:07:23,073 --> 01:07:25,140
No. I'm hungry.
I need pizza.
1494
01:07:25,175 --> 01:07:28,376
[emily laughs]
1495
01:07:28,412 --> 01:07:31,179
oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, okay.
1496
01:07:31,214 --> 01:07:35,817
And this side now.
This side, right there.
1497
01:07:35,852 --> 01:07:38,920
Ah, it's heating up fast.
1498
01:07:38,955 --> 01:07:40,488
Oh, look at it go.
1499
01:07:40,524 --> 01:07:42,157
There's no one on the earth
like steve riedel.
1500
01:07:42,192 --> 01:07:44,292
[laughs] woo.
1501
01:07:44,327 --> 01:07:46,528
[emily] it was a little bit
of a prospecting bust,
1502
01:07:46,563 --> 01:07:49,330
um, but I did get
to watch my dad
1503
01:07:49,366 --> 01:07:51,633
cook a slice of pizza
over the fire.
1504
01:07:51,668 --> 01:07:52,734
Mmm-hmm.
1505
01:07:52,769 --> 01:07:54,235
[emily]
which really made up for it.
1506
01:07:54,271 --> 01:07:56,237
It's a busy summer
and it's not often
1507
01:07:56,273 --> 01:07:57,839
that you get a chance
to just chill out
1508
01:07:57,874 --> 01:07:58,840
and catch your breath.
1509
01:07:58,875 --> 01:08:01,242
So it was some
good quality time.
1510
01:08:01,278 --> 01:08:02,844
It's been fun hanging out
with you, dad.
1511
01:08:02,879 --> 01:08:05,513
Yeah, I love...I love being
out here with you, emmie.
1512
01:08:05,549 --> 01:08:08,349
But I'm real proud that you're
making your way up, emily.
1513
01:08:08,385 --> 01:08:10,752
You're doing a great job.
1514
01:08:10,787 --> 01:08:14,022
Oh, thanks. It's all right.
1515
01:08:14,057 --> 01:08:15,924
I just need to, uh...
1516
01:08:15,959 --> 01:08:17,092
Keep working at it.
1517
01:08:17,127 --> 01:08:19,861
Just trying to do
enough, uh...
1518
01:08:19,896 --> 01:08:22,597
Data collection
to justify a purchase.
1519
01:08:22,632 --> 01:08:25,600
Want me to, uh, call it?
1520
01:08:25,635 --> 01:08:26,968
Come back another day,
keep looking?
1521
01:08:27,003 --> 01:08:29,237
Yeah, let's call it.
Let's just leave.
1522
01:08:29,272 --> 01:08:30,538
-[emily] all right.
-[steve] let's go.
1523
01:08:30,574 --> 01:08:32,107
I'll get the shovels.
1524
01:08:32,142 --> 01:08:33,241
[emily] sounds good.
1525
01:08:33,276 --> 01:08:35,110
[steve] no gold and no gig,
1526
01:08:35,145 --> 01:08:38,480
but time with my daughter,
man, that's precious.
1527
01:08:38,515 --> 01:08:41,916
But I do need
to start making cash
1528
01:08:41,952 --> 01:08:43,251
and that time is now
1529
01:08:43,286 --> 01:08:45,386
or preferably yesterday.
1530
01:08:47,858 --> 01:08:51,593
[emily laughs]
1531
01:08:51,628 --> 01:08:53,461
[steve laughs]
1532
01:08:57,567 --> 01:09:00,435
[mike] one hundred twenty
miles east of nome...
1533
01:09:04,574 --> 01:09:06,241
So right now
we're looking for
1534
01:09:06,276 --> 01:09:08,009
where we're gonna park
for the night.
1535
01:09:08,044 --> 01:09:09,210
We're gonna throw down
anchors,
1536
01:09:09,246 --> 01:09:10,745
we're gonna get some barbecue
up and rolling,
1537
01:09:10,780 --> 01:09:12,313
because I'm hungry.
1538
01:09:12,349 --> 01:09:15,483
[mike] after a long, hard day,
and nothing to show for it,
1539
01:09:15,519 --> 01:09:18,820
kris and his team
hunkered down for dinner.
1540
01:09:18,855 --> 01:09:20,355
[andy]
we came through right here.
1541
01:09:20,390 --> 01:09:21,556
We're just barbecuing
1542
01:09:21,591 --> 01:09:25,426
and spending the night
on a boat with six guys.
1543
01:09:25,462 --> 01:09:27,795
Look, today sucked.
There's no way around it.
1544
01:09:27,831 --> 01:09:29,430
We're gonna get some food
in our stomachs,
1545
01:09:29,466 --> 01:09:31,966
rest for the night,
and get back at it tomorrow.
1546
01:09:32,002 --> 01:09:33,601
We just have
to keep hope alive
1547
01:09:33,637 --> 01:09:35,970
and keep believing.
1548
01:09:36,006 --> 01:09:38,740
Because if the claim's
a bust, we're screwed.
1549
01:09:38,775 --> 01:09:40,508
We're gonna finally
make some dinner
1550
01:09:40,544 --> 01:09:42,677
and everybody will be
in a better mood.
1551
01:09:42,712 --> 01:09:45,280
I brought my trusty
traeger around,
1552
01:09:45,315 --> 01:09:46,981
hence we're ready to go.
1553
01:09:48,285 --> 01:09:49,384
[sighs]
1554
01:09:49,419 --> 01:09:51,386
here, andy,
grab the other half of this.
1555
01:09:57,761 --> 01:10:00,261
[kris] dad.
1556
01:10:00,297 --> 01:10:03,298
I really wish we didn't have
phone reception.
1557
01:10:04,467 --> 01:10:07,468
[phone beeping]
1558
01:10:10,140 --> 01:10:13,641
on the menu tonight
is barbecue chicken,
1559
01:10:13,677 --> 01:10:15,410
then we're gonna have
some steaks.
1560
01:10:15,445 --> 01:10:19,647
[andy speaking]
1561
01:10:19,683 --> 01:10:21,749
[kris] well, where is the salt
and pepper?
1562
01:10:21,785 --> 01:10:23,585
I don't know.
Uh, did you take them
1563
01:10:23,620 --> 01:10:24,752
when you guys
came to the house,
1564
01:10:24,788 --> 01:10:25,853
and went through
all the boxes,
1565
01:10:25,889 --> 01:10:27,088
and took out
what you wanted?
1566
01:10:27,123 --> 01:10:28,823
[kris] you left...
You must have left the box.
1567
01:10:28,858 --> 01:10:30,091
[andy]
I don't think so, dude.
1568
01:10:30,126 --> 01:10:32,060
I'm a person
who likes to eat.
1569
01:10:35,699 --> 01:10:36,965
[kris]
so, we left the main box
1570
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:38,633
of cooking supplies
back in nome,
1571
01:10:38,668 --> 01:10:40,435
it had basically
everything in.
1572
01:10:40,470 --> 01:10:42,203
[man]
you checked in every box?
1573
01:10:42,239 --> 01:10:44,672
[kris] I'm telling you,
we left an entire box of food.
1574
01:10:44,708 --> 01:10:48,076
[man] you guys don't have
a can opener, do you?
1575
01:10:48,111 --> 01:10:50,111
-All our food vanished in.
-[kris] yeah.
1576
01:10:50,146 --> 01:10:52,547
Half of the [bleep]
didn't make it on the boat.
1577
01:10:52,582 --> 01:10:55,617
We left all the spices,
the ribs, the chicken,
1578
01:10:55,652 --> 01:10:58,086
everything good
was in that box.
1579
01:10:58,121 --> 01:11:00,188
We're screwed
for four-star meals now.
1580
01:11:00,223 --> 01:11:01,923
You know,
now it's gonna be some bland,
1581
01:11:01,958 --> 01:11:03,424
tasteless ass-crap
1582
01:11:03,460 --> 01:11:05,727
that's gonna be just enough
nutrition
1583
01:11:05,762 --> 01:11:07,061
to make it through the today.
1584
01:11:07,097 --> 01:11:08,796
Hamburgers and hotdogs.
1585
01:11:10,267 --> 01:11:13,534
Thank god, it's wood smoked
for some [bleep] flavor.
1586
01:11:14,771 --> 01:11:16,671
We don't have rice.
1587
01:11:16,706 --> 01:11:17,672
We don't have potatoes.
1588
01:11:17,707 --> 01:11:18,840
We don't have cheese.
1589
01:11:18,875 --> 01:11:19,907
I mean...
1590
01:11:19,943 --> 01:11:21,776
You got to have
a burger with cheese.
1591
01:11:21,811 --> 01:11:22,944
What do you want me to say?
1592
01:11:22,979 --> 01:11:24,579
It's not...
I didn't make the rules.
1593
01:11:24,614 --> 01:11:25,913
But, yeah, I did notice you
1594
01:11:25,949 --> 01:11:27,548
brought all the [bleep] beans,
though.
1595
01:11:27,584 --> 01:11:28,950
[kris] I like beans.
1596
01:11:28,985 --> 01:11:30,985
That's a great thing to have
on a boat with six guys.
1597
01:11:31,021 --> 01:11:33,154
[kris] I didn't think
we would be eating beans
1598
01:11:33,189 --> 01:11:37,358
as our only source
of a vegetable.
1599
01:11:37,394 --> 01:11:39,427
This trip is not going good
so far.
1600
01:11:39,496 --> 01:11:40,795
It's like a comedy of errors,
1601
01:11:40,830 --> 01:11:43,431
except I don't think
this is funny.
1602
01:11:43,466 --> 01:11:44,966
Bam. We're done.
1603
01:11:45,001 --> 01:11:46,701
It's burger time.
1604
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:51,739
[man]
well, that one is nice.
1605
01:11:58,114 --> 01:12:00,782
I got more buns
than the burger.
1606
01:12:00,817 --> 01:12:02,150
-Hey, j.
-[kris] yeah?
1607
01:12:02,185 --> 01:12:04,419
I ordered on the adult menu,
not the kids menu.
1608
01:12:04,454 --> 01:12:06,120
-[laughter]
-[andy] what the [bleep]
1609
01:12:06,156 --> 01:12:09,791
[kris] well, they shrink off.
1610
01:12:09,826 --> 01:12:11,426
[man] how is it, andy?
1611
01:12:14,030 --> 01:12:16,197
It's edible.
1612
01:12:16,232 --> 01:12:18,633
How is it, brad?
1613
01:12:18,668 --> 01:12:21,502
[laughter]
1614
01:12:21,538 --> 01:12:23,638
[kris] come on,
they're, uh, smoke-flavored.
1615
01:12:23,673 --> 01:12:25,440
[andy]
I don't even taste that.
1616
01:12:25,475 --> 01:12:26,974
I tasted burnt-ness.
1617
01:12:27,010 --> 01:12:29,711
[kris] it's the only kind of
flavoring we have right now.
1618
01:12:29,746 --> 01:12:31,946
[man] is it better than
mcdonald's, brad?
1619
01:12:31,981 --> 01:12:33,047
No.
1620
01:12:33,083 --> 01:12:34,515
[man] how many stars
would you give it?
1621
01:12:34,551 --> 01:12:36,551
One star because I'm hungry.
1622
01:12:36,586 --> 01:12:38,286
You know what,
I don't listen to complaints
1623
01:12:38,321 --> 01:12:40,355
because you know what,
it's the only food,
1624
01:12:40,390 --> 01:12:42,423
so that makes it
the best food.
1625
01:12:45,395 --> 01:12:46,627
[kris] you know what, you...
1626
01:12:46,663 --> 01:12:49,263
Don't do me a favor
if you eat it, okay?
1627
01:12:51,401 --> 01:12:54,602
[mike] one hundred miles away
1628
01:12:54,637 --> 01:12:56,371
back in nome,
1629
01:12:58,074 --> 01:13:00,475
way back in nome...
1630
01:13:00,510 --> 01:13:03,511
[engine revving]
1631
01:13:08,685 --> 01:13:11,619
I know he's out here
somewhere.
1632
01:13:11,654 --> 01:13:14,288
Oh, I see some lights now.
1633
01:13:14,324 --> 01:13:16,724
[mike] the elder pomrenke
has chosen...
1634
01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:18,926
A uniquely remote location
1635
01:13:18,962 --> 01:13:22,096
to hash out a deal
for the inland mine.
1636
01:13:22,132 --> 01:13:24,999
[shawn groans]
1637
01:13:25,034 --> 01:13:27,702
[shawn] oh, nice, warm place.
It feels good.
1638
01:13:27,737 --> 01:13:29,704
[steve] it's a really nice
night, ain't it?
1639
01:13:29,739 --> 01:13:32,840
[shawn] yeah. Beautiful.
1640
01:13:32,876 --> 01:13:35,576
Maybe my dad decided to do
this way out here
1641
01:13:35,612 --> 01:13:36,511
in the middle of nowhere,
1642
01:13:36,546 --> 01:13:38,045
so nobody can hear me scream
1643
01:13:38,081 --> 01:13:40,047
when he stabs me
in the back.
1644
01:13:40,083 --> 01:13:42,984
Figuratively,
of course, I think.
1645
01:13:43,019 --> 01:13:46,220
Um, it's kinda nice view
right here.
1646
01:13:48,224 --> 01:13:49,857
[steve] so you're gonna talk
some deal here
1647
01:13:49,893 --> 01:13:51,225
about buying me out dinner?
1648
01:13:51,261 --> 01:13:52,393
[shawn] yeah.
1649
01:13:52,429 --> 01:13:55,596
Oh, I kind of ran through
the numbers
1650
01:13:55,632 --> 01:13:58,332
and think about
what I think its worth.
1651
01:13:58,368 --> 01:14:01,736
Yeah. Well, did you come up
with a number?
1652
01:14:04,974 --> 01:14:07,708
[shawn]
what do you think, dad, 1.5?
1653
01:14:07,744 --> 01:14:08,810
[steve scoffs]
1654
01:14:12,148 --> 01:14:13,114
[shawn] that's half the...
1655
01:14:13,149 --> 01:14:14,115
Well, I don't know.
1656
01:14:14,150 --> 01:14:15,283
About a couple of years ago,
1657
01:14:15,318 --> 01:14:16,984
1.5 would have been good,
but look at
1658
01:14:17,020 --> 01:14:18,853
all the money
we're putting into this place,
1659
01:14:18,888 --> 01:14:21,155
company in the last
couple years.
1660
01:14:21,191 --> 01:14:22,657
That's either the...
1661
01:14:22,692 --> 01:14:24,392
Well, we run... We could run
the numbers, but that's...
1662
01:14:24,427 --> 01:14:26,961
[steve] ...The good of the
land and then the expertise,
1663
01:14:26,996 --> 01:14:29,063
um, making it all happen,
1664
01:14:29,098 --> 01:14:31,032
so that's worth
something, too.
1665
01:14:31,067 --> 01:14:34,535
That brings the price up
if you ask me.
1666
01:14:34,571 --> 01:14:38,406
[shawn]
well, like how much up?
1667
01:14:38,441 --> 01:14:39,807
Well, I think
you can add in there
1668
01:14:39,843 --> 01:14:41,909
a million on the dot
1669
01:14:41,945 --> 01:14:43,878
for that for the total price.
1670
01:14:47,250 --> 01:14:49,116
It seems to me it takes
a couple million in the...
1671
01:14:49,152 --> 01:14:52,153
In the bank
to retire anymore.
1672
01:14:52,188 --> 01:14:53,387
Well, what do I got
in the bank?
1673
01:14:53,423 --> 01:14:54,622
Zero.
1674
01:14:54,657 --> 01:14:56,891
I got a mining company
in nome, alaska
1675
01:14:56,926 --> 01:14:59,494
for my retirement, so...
1676
01:14:59,529 --> 01:15:02,096
And a kid that knows how
to keep everything running.
1677
01:15:02,131 --> 01:15:06,634
[steve]
well, there's a truth in that.
1678
01:15:06,669 --> 01:15:09,837
[shawn] what are you looking
for every year?
1679
01:15:09,873 --> 01:15:11,506
[bleep] the most I can get.
1680
01:15:11,541 --> 01:15:13,508
[shawn] well, I know that,
but I got...
1681
01:15:13,543 --> 01:15:16,878
We got to eat
around here, too.
1682
01:15:16,913 --> 01:15:19,480
Don't I get
a family discount?
1683
01:15:19,516 --> 01:15:21,282
[steve] [scoffs] there ain't
no family discount.
1684
01:15:21,317 --> 01:15:24,418
The price goes up when
there's families involved.
1685
01:15:27,991 --> 01:15:31,659
How about if I take,
three-quarters of the gold
1686
01:15:31,694 --> 01:15:36,898
that we got leftover this year
for a down payment?
1687
01:15:36,933 --> 01:15:38,833
[shawn] well, what if we make
a whole bunch of gold
1688
01:15:38,868 --> 01:15:42,136
and the three-quarter covers
most of the buyout?
1689
01:15:42,171 --> 01:15:44,372
Well, that would be
the greatest scenario for me
1690
01:15:44,407 --> 01:15:46,908
to get... Pay me off as asap,
as soon as you can,
1691
01:15:46,943 --> 01:15:48,476
then I'll be out of your hair.
1692
01:15:48,511 --> 01:15:51,245
Nobody to holler at you,
I mean, just think
1693
01:15:51,281 --> 01:15:54,615
it'd be dream come true,
shawn.
1694
01:15:54,651 --> 01:15:56,083
Yes, it would.
1695
01:15:56,119 --> 01:15:59,453
[laughs]
1696
01:15:59,489 --> 01:16:02,056
this negotiation
is just much about
1697
01:16:02,091 --> 01:16:03,424
sending my dad packing
1698
01:16:03,459 --> 01:16:05,793
as it is buying
the inland mine.
1699
01:16:05,828 --> 01:16:08,496
It's worth every penny I have.
1700
01:16:08,531 --> 01:16:11,365
[steve] well, we figured
the whole company's worth
three million.
1701
01:16:11,434 --> 01:16:15,770
Um, I'll take 300 grand
to start with,
1702
01:16:15,805 --> 01:16:17,038
you know, and then how much...
1703
01:16:17,073 --> 01:16:18,806
A hundred and fifty grand
a year after that,
1704
01:16:18,841 --> 01:16:20,074
for how many years?
1705
01:16:20,109 --> 01:16:21,409
[shawn]
well, that'd be eight years.
1706
01:16:21,444 --> 01:16:23,411
[steve] [indistinct]
until you get paid off.
1707
01:16:23,446 --> 01:16:25,246
That'd make me happy.
1708
01:16:29,185 --> 01:16:31,152
[shawn] as soon as you take
the down payment,
1709
01:16:31,187 --> 01:16:33,387
then it's sold?
1710
01:16:33,423 --> 01:16:35,456
[steve] yeah.
1711
01:16:35,491 --> 01:16:37,992
To me, not to anybody else.
1712
01:16:38,027 --> 01:16:41,696
[steve] yeah. It's all yours
after that, so...
1713
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:44,999
[shawn]
that would make me happy.
1714
01:16:45,034 --> 01:16:47,068
[steve] all right.
1715
01:16:47,103 --> 01:16:49,203
All good.
1716
01:16:49,238 --> 01:16:51,339
[shawn] it's still gonna
cost me an arm and a leg
1717
01:16:51,374 --> 01:16:53,507
to get my dad off my back.
1718
01:16:53,543 --> 01:16:55,376
Plus what I owe on the tomcod
1719
01:16:55,411 --> 01:16:57,845
and the myrtle irene upgrades,
1720
01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:00,247
I'm in the hole nearly
three million dollars.
1721
01:17:00,283 --> 01:17:03,317
All right.
That's somewhat of a deal.
1722
01:17:03,353 --> 01:17:04,885
Sounds good, dad.
1723
01:17:04,921 --> 01:17:07,755
I have confidence I'll make it
all back plus millions more.
1724
01:17:07,790 --> 01:17:09,223
You got to get back?
1725
01:17:09,258 --> 01:17:11,292
I'm gonna go make some gold.
1726
01:17:18,434 --> 01:17:19,700
[mike] and now,
it's time to flex
1727
01:17:19,736 --> 01:17:22,069
our bsg brain muscles with...
1728
01:17:23,539 --> 01:17:25,039
Do you know your miner?
1729
01:17:25,108 --> 01:17:27,642
[audience applauding]
1730
01:17:27,677 --> 01:17:31,545
[shawn speaking]
1731
01:17:31,581 --> 01:17:33,614
[mike] back in the day
when shawn and his dad
1732
01:17:33,650 --> 01:17:36,150
meant to gently discuss
mining strategy...
1733
01:17:36,185 --> 01:17:38,052
It's a long overdue
conversation,
1734
01:17:38,087 --> 01:17:39,487
I'm telling you.
1735
01:17:39,522 --> 01:17:42,189
[mike] what terms of affection
did mr. Gold
1736
01:17:42,225 --> 01:17:44,191
call his beloved father?
1737
01:17:44,227 --> 01:17:47,395
[mike] was it a [bleep],
1738
01:17:47,430 --> 01:17:50,731
b [bleep],
1739
01:17:50,767 --> 01:17:55,036
or c [bleep]?
1740
01:18:00,943 --> 01:18:02,910
[steve] you think
we need you that bad?
1741
01:18:02,945 --> 01:18:05,079
-[shawn] you're a [bleep]
-[steve] well...
1742
01:18:05,114 --> 01:18:06,947
You're a [bleep]
1743
01:18:06,983 --> 01:18:11,218
you're a [bleep]
1744
01:18:12,655 --> 01:18:15,656
[mike] if you guessed d,
all the above,
1745
01:18:15,692 --> 01:18:16,957
then you know your miner.
1746
01:18:16,993 --> 01:18:19,393
[audience applauding]
1747
01:18:19,429 --> 01:18:21,562
[shawn] [bleep]
great, great, great.
1748
01:18:28,371 --> 01:18:31,372
[dramatic music playing]
1749
01:18:35,912 --> 01:18:38,612
[mike] on the outskirts
of nome, alaska...
1750
01:18:45,521 --> 01:18:47,254
[zeke]
I'm having some back issues,
1751
01:18:47,290 --> 01:18:50,324
and of all the reading
I've done on the internet
1752
01:18:50,359 --> 01:18:53,327
about what you're supposed
to do in these situations,
1753
01:18:53,362 --> 01:18:55,763
all you can really do
is to try to, like,
1754
01:18:55,798 --> 01:18:58,032
roll the muscle knot out
1755
01:18:58,067 --> 01:19:00,134
and get rid
of the muscle knot.
1756
01:19:00,169 --> 01:19:03,003
[mike] zeke tenhoff's rolling
with the changes,
1757
01:19:03,039 --> 01:19:05,539
hoping to get back fast.
1758
01:19:05,575 --> 01:19:07,141
[zeke] well, I didn't have
a back roller,
1759
01:19:07,176 --> 01:19:09,243
and I looked around,
and I found this back roller
1760
01:19:09,278 --> 01:19:11,746
and it's a, um, [indistinct]
1761
01:19:11,781 --> 01:19:14,749
everything about mining,
1762
01:19:14,784 --> 01:19:18,252
you know, like, really
the whole activity of it
1763
01:19:18,287 --> 01:19:22,690
really depends on
high-level physical fitness.
1764
01:19:23,693 --> 01:19:25,926
Hauling yourself with, like,
1765
01:19:25,962 --> 01:19:27,995
60 pounds of dive weight
1766
01:19:28,030 --> 01:19:29,697
and all your gear,
1767
01:19:29,732 --> 01:19:31,532
up and down the hose,
1768
01:19:31,567 --> 01:19:33,100
and then on and off the boat,
1769
01:19:33,136 --> 01:19:37,104
if I'm so gimped up that
I can barely move my head,
1770
01:19:37,140 --> 01:19:38,472
then nothing can happen.
1771
01:19:38,508 --> 01:19:39,874
And that's where
I was at today.
1772
01:19:39,909 --> 01:19:42,910
[dramatic music playing]
1773
01:19:44,413 --> 01:19:45,679
[zeke]
there's not a whole lot
1774
01:19:45,715 --> 01:19:47,882
of mining season left.
1775
01:19:47,917 --> 01:19:50,017
If my physical body's
not gonna work,
1776
01:19:50,052 --> 01:19:53,320
it doesn't matter
how awesome this creation is,
1777
01:19:53,356 --> 01:19:56,290
it doesn't... How...
No matter how capable it is,
1778
01:19:56,325 --> 01:19:57,424
we're not gonna
make any money.
1779
01:19:57,460 --> 01:20:00,461
[dramatic music playing]
1780
01:20:03,466 --> 01:20:04,565
[zeke] I've put a lot of work
1781
01:20:04,634 --> 01:20:05,766
into getting
the sailboat dredge
1782
01:20:05,802 --> 01:20:08,502
where it is right now.
1783
01:20:08,538 --> 01:20:10,304
At this point,
1784
01:20:10,339 --> 01:20:12,740
I just need to go
get a fat clean-up.
1785
01:20:16,546 --> 01:20:18,813
I don't know
what else to do.
1786
01:20:21,884 --> 01:20:23,784
[mike]
five miles southwest...
1787
01:20:23,820 --> 01:20:26,821
[tense music playing]
1788
01:20:29,292 --> 01:20:33,027
[vernon] this is how I like
to pan gold.
1789
01:20:33,062 --> 01:20:36,363
This is what I call tubbing.
1790
01:20:36,399 --> 01:20:39,033
Just kind of slapping around.
1791
01:20:39,068 --> 01:20:41,869
[mike] vernon adkison
is enjoying the fruits
1792
01:20:41,904 --> 01:20:43,504
of his divers' labor.
1793
01:20:43,539 --> 01:20:45,639
I don't like those little...
Tiny, little pans.
1794
01:20:45,675 --> 01:20:47,107
[man] that's a man pan.
1795
01:20:47,143 --> 01:20:50,911
[vernon] I like these tubs
full of gold.
1796
01:20:50,947 --> 01:20:53,480
All right.
That's enough fun.
1797
01:20:53,516 --> 01:20:55,082
For now, let's clean it up.
1798
01:20:55,117 --> 01:20:58,118
[upbeat music playing]
1799
01:21:00,489 --> 01:21:01,755
[vernon]
those guys went at it.
1800
01:21:01,791 --> 01:21:03,524
There were no holds barred.
1801
01:21:03,559 --> 01:21:06,060
I'm expecting a good clean-up.
1802
01:21:06,095 --> 01:21:08,262
That look pretty damn good
to me, boys.
1803
01:21:08,297 --> 01:21:10,164
Because the more gold
they get,
1804
01:21:10,199 --> 01:21:11,899
the more gold I get.
1805
01:21:13,502 --> 01:21:14,668
[man] there you go.
1806
01:21:14,704 --> 01:21:17,504
[vernon] all right.
Here it goes.
1807
01:21:17,540 --> 01:21:20,107
We want good ground.
Real good ground.
1808
01:21:20,142 --> 01:21:22,509
That's one...
And then were...
1809
01:21:22,545 --> 01:21:23,677
And then we're hugging it.
1810
01:21:23,713 --> 01:21:27,114
Two,
1811
01:21:27,149 --> 01:21:28,682
three,
1812
01:21:28,718 --> 01:21:31,318
four, five,
1813
01:21:31,354 --> 01:21:33,587
six,
1814
01:21:33,623 --> 01:21:34,755
seven,
1815
01:21:34,790 --> 01:21:36,190
eight,
1816
01:21:36,225 --> 01:21:38,025
nine,
1817
01:21:38,060 --> 01:21:39,660
ten.
1818
01:21:39,695 --> 01:21:44,498
11...Point
1819
01:21:44,533 --> 01:21:45,933
7.
1820
01:21:45,968 --> 01:21:47,034
All right.
1821
01:21:47,069 --> 01:21:49,436
[mike] 11.7 ounces.
1822
01:21:49,472 --> 01:21:51,205
That's worth over $23,000.
1823
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:52,473
[man] whoo.
1824
01:21:52,508 --> 01:21:54,441
[vernon] what is that word
we used so often?
1825
01:21:54,477 --> 01:21:55,609
Awesome.
1826
01:21:55,645 --> 01:21:57,611
I'm liking
this competition thing.
1827
01:21:57,647 --> 01:21:59,346
I mean, this puts gold
in the box.
1828
01:21:59,382 --> 01:22:00,781
Yeah.
1829
01:22:00,816 --> 01:22:02,783
[vernon] I couldn't have
played this any better.
1830
01:22:02,818 --> 01:22:05,019
Fifty-six is loaded.
1831
01:22:05,054 --> 01:22:08,289
Now all we got to do
is put that gold in the box,
1832
01:22:08,324 --> 01:22:10,491
so I can pay for the claim.
1833
01:22:10,526 --> 01:22:12,826
You guys are riding
with the wild ranger.
1834
01:22:12,862 --> 01:22:14,161
-Yeah.
-[vernon] as long as
1835
01:22:14,196 --> 01:22:15,763
you can stay in the saddle,
1836
01:22:15,798 --> 01:22:18,332
you will reap the rewards.
1837
01:22:20,937 --> 01:22:22,770
It doesn't take much
to make me happy.
1838
01:22:22,805 --> 01:22:24,972
A nice pan of gold
will do it every damn time.
1839
01:22:25,007 --> 01:22:26,073
[man] yeah.
1840
01:22:29,178 --> 01:22:31,412
[mike] next time
on bering sea gold...
1841
01:22:31,447 --> 01:22:32,746
[man] we're ready
to go mining.
1842
01:22:32,782 --> 01:22:33,881
[man] oh, yeah.
1843
01:22:33,916 --> 01:22:35,182
[man] this is what
all comes to down to
1844
01:22:35,217 --> 01:22:37,584
because it didn't work
first try.
1845
01:22:37,620 --> 01:22:39,920
[kris] this is exactly
what I wanted to avoid.
1846
01:22:39,956 --> 01:22:41,455
[man] get out of here.
1847
01:22:41,490 --> 01:22:43,457
Everybody had said that you're
gonna get run out of here.
1848
01:22:43,492 --> 01:22:45,993
Everybody said that?
1849
01:22:46,028 --> 01:22:47,661
[emily] I don't know
what's taking daryl so long.
1850
01:22:47,697 --> 01:22:49,363
You're at the airport?
1851
01:22:49,398 --> 01:22:50,965
This is insane.
1852
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:53,000
[man] these swells
are getting dangerously close
1853
01:22:53,035 --> 01:22:54,401
to the sluice box.
1854
01:22:54,437 --> 01:22:56,303
[man] think I'm gonna dredge
for another hour
1855
01:22:56,339 --> 01:22:58,172
and all this
luscious weather.
1856
01:22:58,207 --> 01:22:59,773
[vernon] when we can't get out
on the ocean,
1857
01:22:59,809 --> 01:23:01,241
we can come here and work.
1858
01:23:01,277 --> 01:23:02,776
A lot of gold
was taken out of here,
1859
01:23:02,812 --> 01:23:05,779
but I'm gonna tell you,
they didn't get it all.
1860
01:23:05,815 --> 01:23:08,248
[man] there's a whole bunch
of gold right here.
1861
01:23:08,284 --> 01:23:09,717
Whoo. Round it, baby.
1862
01:23:09,752 --> 01:23:11,251
[laughs]
1863
01:23:11,287 --> 01:23:12,820
[man speaking]
1864
01:23:12,855 --> 01:23:13,821
[man] hell, yeah, man.
1865
01:23:13,856 --> 01:23:15,856
Gold.
1866
01:23:15,891 --> 01:23:16,690
[groans]
1867
01:23:16,726 --> 01:23:18,058
[man] shawn, you okay?
1868
01:23:18,094 --> 01:23:19,927
-[gunshot]
-[man] oh [bleep]
1869
01:23:19,962 --> 01:23:21,161
[man speaking]
1870
01:23:21,197 --> 01:23:22,196
[man] get down.
